> At the heart of all the divergent plots is something called The Golden
> Fang. Pynchon keeps its identity mysterious, indeterminate. The Golden
> Fang may be a luxury yacht used for drug smuggling, money laundering,
> kidnapping and torture; or it could be a holding company used by
> dentists in connection with a tax dodge scheme; or possibly a south
> Asian heroin cartel, or a funny farm for the rich, or all these
> things.

> Whatever it is, The Golden Fang has its teeth sunk deep into the era’s
> feel-good zeitgeist, and Sportello can sense it’s sucking the country
> dry: “Was it possible, that at every gathering—concert, peace rally,
> love-in, be-in, and freak-in, here, up North, back East,
> wherever—those dark crews had been busy all along, reclaiming the
> music, the resistance to power, the sexual desire from epic to
> everyday, all they could sweep up, for the ancient forces of greed and
> fear?”
