closer and closer he tries to read, asking questions

[Mark Kohut]

Page the first....
[Oedipa] "spoke the name of God"......what did she SAY?   "O God" [whyn't TRP write that if that is it?]  "Jesus Christ!"   She is a young Republican American................

Page the second: 
Jay Gould, industrialist, the only ikon in Pierce's house, where it stands "among [his] dreams"?  I get a strong allusive riff to another JG, Jay Gatsby, American dreamer into wealth. 

"the room, which knew"---? WTF?. O's home kinda alive?; as pre-indutrial societies felt about their domiciles? TV is death inside it.
