M&D preambulatory profferings

[Monte Davis]

Jules Siegel, in the infamous (to me) Playboy piece: "He went to Mass and
confessed, though to what would be a mystery." Plus a few snippets in
Hollander's essays and elsewhere, none enough IMHO to discriminate between
'devout,' 'observant,' and 'obliging his mother.'

Further this deponent sayeth not, as my general preference to respect
Pynchon's chosen level of privacy -- and bemusement at attempts to
penetrate it -- is reinforced here by a faded WASP-bourgeois sense that
other people's religion is none of my business. Ridiculous, really, as I've
bloviated on his every deepest and most important thought re first and last
things that might (or might not) be revealed in the fiction -- but there it
is.
