NP overtly, but via surround-sound, so to speak

[Mark Kohut]

In a book called Black Humor Fiction of the Sixties by one Max F. Schulz, 1973 there are a few interesting Pynchon tickling things:

1) [The Black Humorist] agrees with Todd Andrews's reflection at the end of The Floating Opera that "Nothing has intrinsic value". 

2) Quotes Borges: 'that imminence of a revelation that is not yet produced.
---no source

3) "Like Alice thru The Looking Glass, and a hint of new amazements".. [it]... "is suggested to our consciousness the suspicion that  the arrangement of experience into either/or equations falsifies by delimitation the alternative infinities of AND and AND. Grass for instance
organizes much of The Tin Drum according to this principle, as also does Vonnegut in his novels."  -----------No mention of TRP with this insight!.

Decent, sum-of-conventional wisdom essays to this time on V. and Lot 49 in this book written before GR was published.
