Pynchonic convergence

[Erik T. Burns]

this is a singularly pynchonesque vignette:

The Foresters were assigned to take part in the attack on Pantellaria, a
rocky island 60 miles south of Sicily, in June. Although possessed of
formidable coast artillery and a garrison of 15,000 Italians, it surrendered
after a heavy aerial and sea bombardment without any fighting. The Foresters
had one casualty, a corporal bitten by a mule.
