CH 15 the hard on

[alice wellintown]

Mark Kohut sez, I counter by saying that IV, like all his works, is a
subtler moral argument than we have yet fully articulated.
> That it may not work--no moral center--is worth continued argument BUT  The man has a MORAL perspective on EVERYTHING, on history, on the Human and its loss........it is in Inherent Vice or IV fails to embody it..... but it is intended, I say over and over.

But his obvious attack on Zombie Banks and Zombie REO, the corrupt
American Elect and the MIC War & Consumer economy is compromised by
the harsh attack on the preterite, and specifically the
counter-culture. We are left with nothing but fragments shored against
the ruins of an entrenched soul on Eliot's side of no man's land with
only Voltaire's clever provactions to keep us romantically peeping
into the best of all possible worlds going wrong.
