Pynchon in other people's books

[Joe Allonby]

I've been reading "The Whites" by Richard Price (writing as Harry Brandt).

There is a scene involving a campus cop busting a drug dealer.

"The girl sat on her narrow bed in the sour-smelling suite, grinding her
knuckles into bonemeal. A shoebox filled with Saran Wrapped twists of coke
and Ziplocks of pot sat on her desk, and a hollowed out copy of 'Gravity's
Rainbow' packed with tens, twenties, and hundreds lay open on her dresser.

'"Gravity's Rainbow", I never heard of that,' Yasmeen said as she
photographed the cash. 'Is that a good book?'

'I never read it.' The girl's numb gaze was locked onto the wedge of the
Brooklyn Bridge visible from the dormitory window. 'It's my Dad's
favorite.'"
