Rossini. I'm thinkin' Gravitys Rainbow, but I'm also noting how, Post GR,
Pynchon takes the Force of Love, of the love that forms familes, and the
sorts of magic and stories that come out of families---he spoke of the
plots of Barber and Thieving Magpie as demonstrations of the force of
love, its power. Kinda like Shakespeare's Tempest, Love and Family
trump High Magicke. Like it's the glue that holds the universe together.
And Carl Stalling and [esp.] Chuck Jones love Rossini.
But OBA's having plenty of fun with everybody's favorite fascist
composer in yhis one, eh?
