okay, in 1962 Philip Roth published _Letting Go_ about a couple who
remind me of O and W a bit,
just in terms of people who've had their sensibilities rubbed raw
against the world, in different ways...

the husband's horrible painter uncle has an eigenvalue relation with
Pierce, too, a bit, in my mind...

I mention this not to suggest emulation but just in terms of early 60s
people in fiction...2 great masters of prose working in the same time
frame...
which I couldn't help drawing (projecting) Riemannian parallels between...
