IVIV (1) Denis from Down the Hill

[Michael Bailey]

> "'Drug'?  'Store'?  Okay?"

cp M&D where they go in the apothecary, and much is made of
the unique atmosphere with its wondrous smells and aromas and tendrils
of scent, and of course Mason, or is it Dixon, orders quite a good deal
of opiates

cp also later in this book where Doc asks a Ouija board for
the 20 of some good stuff

the possibility that Denis is something more than a lamer
...is something I bless Pynchon for considering?
...is fulfilled several times later in the book?

he is seeing afresh?

It's just so...bald, so...apparently idiotic and id-driven
(kinda like the oral sex scenes to come)
