atdtda:31 pgs 887-888 Reef's dream

[Mark Kohut]

A-and, Monte, this reminds me of when you focussed on the pampas quote about 
   existential fear (so to speak. My labeling and possible misuse of the quote.).
   
  is P here-- as there?--- layering in the VOID as the fearful backdrop against which we
  start painting on cave walls and trying to understand why we exist?....
  "it's always dark or we wouldn;t need light"...?
   
  Some kind of truth usually comes in dreams in Pynchon, right? so, here too?

  Just roll that around your mind, foax. It's perfect Mountain West idiom, wouldn't look a bit out of place in Cormac McCarthy, but in Pynchon's inflection it leans farther over deeper voids. Metaphysically astute in new-penny old words...
