"Equate," I don't know. But, again, what are the relationships
between characers? What structures do they fit into? Create, even?
What structures are they analogous to? Me, I tend to think of all
these unusual names, for example, not so much as point askew at
someone else--if taht's a fair way to caharacterize Hollander's
claims--as ringing out and creating resonances. As landmines, even,
triggering other explosions on down the line ...

No such thing. Is there? In fiction? A seemingly densely figured
and confifured as Pynchon's?
