BEER Group Read. Bruce Winterslow and Vyrva McElmo

[Mark Kohut]

Bruce Slow as Winter? and Vyrva, physically slow, 'a West Coast' thing, "not
nearly time-obsessed enough". 
 
Then Pynchon jumps back in time---the looseness, the looseness; "he can do it anytime"-- to "before [Maxine and Vyrva] got to know each other"
when Maxine saw her as a California type who must surely drink herbal tea.
 
Mediated seeing. Seeing in stereotypes. Even our 'fraud detective' of some supposed acuity.
