Oedipal has to remove when she plays Strip Botticelli? 

"Curfews were not the only erotic problem we faced....
....a variety of coed undergarments fiendishly designed to delay until 
Curfew, if not to prevent outright, any access to one's date's  pelvic area."
                  ----Pynchon's intro to Farina's novel, 1983

"[Gnossos ] is susceptible to the thrill of vendetta or karmic adjustment,
An impulse I suspect isn't entirely absent from why Farina wrote the novel"
                        ---pynchon 

As adumbrated by Pynchon, part of the motivation for Farina's novel was Cornell's
Crackdown on partiers like him ( including his suspension, although soon rescinded after the protesting) .  

So, fiction can be 'karmic adjustment' ?
