Something I have yet to hear mentioned here: 
What if “Against the Day “ turns out to be “The Big One”, 
the one that ties it all together?
Here’s my thoughts. The Occult elements of Pynchon always 
have been my focus. This just dawned on me: “Mason & Dixon” 
deals with the historical Mason/Dixon line between an age 
alchemical and an age scientific. Along with all those 
anachronisims and bad puns, there's tonne's of olde magicke 
and persuits alchemical. The historical range of “Against the Day” 
covers the early development of the Golden Dawn. This will tie 
this book much more tightly to the occult elements in “Gravity’s 
Rainbow”. “ATD” just might be “The Big One”.
