All the Big Pynchon Novels in some way have something happening dead
center -- that is to say, at the exact mid-way point of the novel's
page count. In the case of "V.", my edition -- the Harper Perennial
Modern Classics edition -- there is a page count of 533, the half way
point should be somewhere in the general vicinity of page 266.
_______

but the original novel was 492 pgs making pg. 246 the middle, no?
unless 266 corresponds w/ 246 exactly. just saying...
