Of course, she, like Dorothy, had to find out for herself because that is who she is on a quest to find. Oedipa's waste is never, as in the tragic models, revealed, and so she must live with us, it's the only return permitted. You can never go home again in Pynchon, you can only fly toward it (Grace).
