Pynchon is by the closest to an American James Joyce we have witnessed  
so far and Howard Hughes is not subliminal in the text—His presence is  
in fact a repeated leitmotiv in Inherent Vice and  he was THE central  
figure in Watergate. This will be unwound by critics who are awake in  
the future.

Feel free to go back to sleep.
