V-2nd Home and homelessness

Yes I was going to touch on this just a bit. Both Rachel ( cool, beautiful, 
smart, at home with machines and the age of the automobile)and Benny ( all 
around sclemiel, and perhaps too porcine to be fully at home in his own 
Jewishness) seem to follow the classic stereotype of the Wandering Jew. This 
feels like an important part of what keeps them from connecting to any place or 
people. They seem unable to imagine "home" in a positive way. But we have little 
indication this comes from their own experience of home, rather it seems like a 
kind of Jungian cultural archetype.

Home as, minimally, place---The Five Towns area----with Benny umbilically linked 
(metaphorically) to Rachel is as close as we get, yes?

So, V. here is about spirtual homelessness, among other things?....and I'm 
pre-remembering the tourists are everywhere theme---which means they/we
are not at home either.
