favorite Pynchon invention

[Don Antenen]

Yes, I wasn't sure what the right word was, but 'invention' seems the closest fit.

Another would have to be yo-yoing. Alas, as a teetotaler, I've never had the pleasure...

all the best,
Donald

Remembering that Shakespeare used the word invention to mean discovery...

I reckon Dixon is my favorite of Pynchon's Inventions, if I dare call him that.
