Critical Thinking

[Markekohut]

I did know that.......yes, it is some kind of "joke".....I had not read Blood Meridian when I saw the
Larroquette Show, and knew as little as all of us about TRP's work.

I still think it highly likely that TRP, a writer full of associative resonances chose THIS phrase as the joke to make about his "next" book.......

see pandemonium from Milton and its resonances with all that has happened to pure sunshine
In ATD.....

Maybe.

I don't have a page number or chapter handy, but am certain it is in there.

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.
