Critical Thinking

[Tyler Wilson]

I'll pipe up here, just because I can't believe nobody has mentioned it yet:
"Pandemonium of the Sun" is certainly a joke (*who's* exactly, I cannot say, but if it had come from P, I'm not sure why anyone would ever even have considered taking it seriously) because it is a section-ending, perhaps chapter-ending, phrase from a terrific passage in Blood Meridian. I don't have a page number or chapter handy, but am certain it is in there.--T

Larroquette sent the script to P through Jackson; P replied, telling 
Larroquette to put Roky Ericsson on a T-shirt. If I recall correctly (and I'm not looking at the articles) P also gave him Pandemonium of the Sun but P is capable of making up a title as a joke. Of course it could refer to Against the Day, but we can't know for sure and P ain't going to tell us. It would be nice if something surfaced to  tell us.
