ATDTDA (33) - p. 942 chick lit?

[Mark Kohut]

yea, OBA is a little 'bald' here......I read it, however, as satiric about her 'old need'. Sorta
  another statement that (a certain kind of) wished-for transcendance ain't such a good thing,maybe?

Where's the multi-layered, enigmatic TRP in this paragraph? This explicit rendering of what's going on in Yashmeen's mind seems to be more in the realm of "chick lit." An homage? Or is Pynchon just off his game here?
