GR translation: habitual morning cup

[alice wellintown]

Metaphorical. A still youthful Mr. Pynchon exhibits his insightful
readings of office, lab, routine, or the political and personality
conflicts of the jobplace. And, of course, here, the idea of the
opposite, men whose ideas make them anti-men, foils, or antagonists,
or in the Anatomy or M-Satire reading, cranks and professionals who
not only represent a profession or idea, in this case Pavlovian,
Statictician, but are invested, ironically, with literary tradtion, so
Pointman is a Knight and Shakespearean Prince. The Sciences are
mock-Religions or Cults; these men are priests.

All in a cup of coffee?

brim with....one more cup of coffeee for I go....
