That Pynchon's tropes are about real life

[alice wellintown]

Pynchon has been doing this from the start.. As Tanner says, and as many a
"Marxist" critic has noted, the reification of people is evident in the
prevailing language--the cant and proper nouns, theWittenstein.

The Glamorama, the fictionalisation of identity, the charactersization
through an up and down load of bits.

All you wall street haters don't get the fact that the yuppers are just
Pawns in the Exchange. No One was Saved.

Soybeans are traded on the CME. So, why move to NY? Trade something else?

Remember too, that the WTC was bombed, a bomb in the garage. Man, I miss
that car, but who can think about that thing when, or even that little
disaster now after...

After that, the NYFE, the Knife, and the NYMEX, the Edge,  set up trading
pits in Queens, just in case, the pits sat there ready to roll into action
if disaster struck.  And it did. The Pawns had to trade in Queens. So, in
the novel Netherland, people end up crashing together in spaces unfamiliar,
the city is explored, the new city out there where De Blasio has
support...and this too is  important to Pynchon's latest.
