Nails the USA* as well—I've lived in LaVerne, north-east of Pomona,  
North by Northwest of Claremont and its College. Can't help but  
thinking that David Foster Wallace's final moments were in that  
general vicinity. Another kind of "Vineland", if you think about it,  
DFW attempting to reconcile the unreconcilable in "Pale King", finally  
saying "the hell with it." After the Götterdämmerung of my first  
marriage colliding into my Saturn return, moved to Berkeley, living  
with a dropout from Stanford who previously majored in Physics, the  
sub-atomic kind, working at a Tower Records  circa mid-80's, majoring  
in the in the B.O.T.A. and O.T.O. with a sideline of the  Grateful  
Dead and the cult of the Deadhead,

Small World. Living la vida Pynchon.

*The mediated USA in particular.
