"1984" and "Gravity's Rainbow"

[Mark Kohut]

Yes, I know that P Notes on the love nests...Jessica seems to be a 
J-letter homage to Julia, lovely Julia, seemingly Orwell's homage to that other Juliet, lover of love and Romeo.

Orwell refers to "ancestral memory" couple-three-four times as well, very
interesting ala Jung echoes of same and AtD.....

A---and, speaking of Norman O. Brown's "Life Against Death" (a major GR infusion we know) and the recently realluded to "Eros & Civilization" as books needed to teach GR, sez that good reader Molly Hite, Ole Mr. Orwell hada very strong stream of Love/Life vs. War/Death in "1984".  

And remember life as a state of Siege in AtD?.....there THAT is in 1984, stated with that word....
