Interregnum

[Guy Ian Scott Pursey]

Forgive my ignorance of how this list works but are you guys discussing
doing a close reading? I've been receiving e-mails from the list for
quite some time and responding to only a few now and again... But I have
noticed all these e-mails about AtD going back and forth - which I've
been half-avoiding because it's the only Pynchon book I haven't read
yet.

 

As I understand it, someone hosts a section of a book and then others
pile in with interpretations...?

 

I would be really interested in taking part, esp. if it's M&D. Though
someone might have to take a few minutes to explain how this all happens
and how much time it takes up... Feel free to contact off-list :-)

 

Thanks,

Guy

whatever next one we read, and the circle is everywhere, let's make it
even more like jazz

than we ALREADY do....(all the wonderful solos).......and have a steady
bassline intertwining Whatever with AtD.....??

	Good points all, too bad that "V" is my least favorite. Can't
call it

boy's

	But you make an excellent point, and "V" sure does tie into AtD,
don't it?
