V. help and disscusion

[Jordan Hunnicutt]

I'm new to Pynchon as well as the list.  Right now I'm reading V. and loving
it.  I'm enamored by the black comedy that's throughout the book.  I would
say that I am doing pretty good so far at navigating the dense prose (I
equate some chapters as the literary equivalent of being waterboarded) but
this passage has me beat.  In my edition it starts on pg. 168 and goes
though 169.  It's in chapter 7, part 6 where Godolphin is running from the
police and starts with "He turned right and headed toward the Duomo..."
That entire paragraph is really intense and I'm having a very hard time
following the characters line of thought as to what exactly is going on.

Is there anyone that would care to elaborate or explain this.  Any tips
would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks!
