V--2nd, Chap 9

[Mark Kohut]

As many from Prof Krafft thru Robin (who got in line first) knew,
this chapter is central to the most major historical themes of V.
It is almost a kind of compacted miniature of V.'s major meanings itself, yes? 

I learn that Medieval romances, like The Faerie Queen--not Alice's kinds, 
but ancestral first cousins, fer sure,--- often have a central section that 
functions just like this.

Also, Misc. P.S. Remember that Pynchon paradox that in GR he scores on
paper and writing itself? Well, from Love's Labour's Lost, it is said of
one character, Berowne, found by many to be very like 
 a small-scale self-portrait because of his eloquence and observations:

"How well he's read, to reason against reading."
