JFK

[alice wellintown]

Be that as it may, and I prefer to let it be, the conspiracy is a part
of the fiction, part of the positive and negative paranoia theme and
NOT the encrypted meaning of the texts. Again, I recommend that
Introduction to the Comapanion to V. by Grant because it spells out,
with the support of dozens of Pynchon scholars, the problem inherent
in the paranoid reading of P-texts. Tuning inot the frequencies, as
Robin has clearly demonstrated, is useful and can dish up insightful
readings, but falling into the pit of paranoid conspiracy will only
divert attention from the text as a work of art and that is what it
is, not an editorial or political pamphlet or muckraking polemic.
