The fall-off is great.  And the quote is from my favorite DDL novel.

"I mean danger, the edge of every void, the circumstance of one 
manimparting an erotic terror to the dreams of the 
republic."--GreatJones Street, 1973can't think of a better description 
of Pynchon's work in the GR period.I was thinking about this the past 
few days and how after GR, Ibelieve, Pynchon became primarily a 
story-teller--sure there's plentyof sex and terror in Pynchon's post GR 
world but they never reallyhave combined so hermaphroditically like 
they do in GR in particular.rich
