IVIV (1) 'You are one crazy white motherfucker'; Weed, Whites & Wine; Aunt Reet

[John Bailey]

Scott Oof is Reet's boy, yeah?

Cos Reet Oof is one horrible name, even by Pynchon's standards.

I see her as one of the more sympathetic characters in the book. More
Reet Oon than Reet Oof.

(Despite the real estate connections).
