AtDTDA 32: Fantasia on a Fantasia of Thomas Tallis Pt. 3

[Mark Kohut]

When I tell new readers of Pynchon how to approach him (if asked, or if I give a book):
   
  I say keep in mind three things. 1) They are comic--and hilarious    2) Play mentally with
  it---it is layered metaphors            3) Don't be set back by what you think you need to know.

  It's hard for me to imagine OBA speaking out of metaphor, speaking literally on nearly anything.  It's as if everything is metaphorical.  After all, it is.

           how music can "take us out of ourselves"....


Who sez it's a metaphor?
