Used to be a DJ at KPFA. Had an infatuation with ecofeminism. This was  
reflected in the programming. Have an unnaturally high voice. You  
wouldn't believe how many lesbian listeners assumed I was a woman.

In any case, I see oodles of stuff in Pynchon's writing that relates  
to ecofeminism. It's odd, my initial run-in with T'n'A resulted in a  
flame war. Subsequent interactions were more copacetic. I think the  
feminist streak starts warming up in CoL49, resulting in sometimes  
confused messages. But isn't it Geli Tripping, of all people, who  
seems to be on the right track in GR? There's so much Magical Realism  
in TRP's post GR career it seems a little coarse to note that the  
author has become ever more obsessed with ever more heretical ideas,  
Western Occult is all in there, right on the surface, nothing "occult"  
about that. But I say that the exploration of the realm of heresy [for  
the hell of it]  is the central McGuffin in the author's canon. In any  
case, I do believe that T'n'A's focusing on the increasingly feminist  
skew of Pynchon's writing is right on track. The CIA's in there [just  
a population count, Jim] California is the map but Feminism is the  
territory in all three—The Crying of Lot 49, Vineland and Inherent  
Vice. Weird, eh?

Blame it on the moon.
