IVIV, "the place was turning out to be bigger inside than out", p.21

[Mark Kohut]

A favorite trope of Pynchon's used in M & D---inside of carriages--and elsewhere?....

Where people, men & women, 'get together", share space, togetherness, company--and much more here in IV.....Talk about authorial intent: the author is portraying this house; water-beds, mirrored ceilings, strobe lights, musk-scented smoke, etc. as a great good time, yes?
