M & D on metaphor

[Mark Kohut]

the card table: "cheaper"..."Wand'ring Heart" grain "causing an illusion
of depth"...so many hinges, sliding Mortises..." with no known end to it ,
being compared to "...Pages of Books"...; could this be a bit of
self-deprecation on Mr. Pynchon's part, and a hint that we're in for a
certain (hoped-for?) type of story?

Yes, I think and I think it a marvelous self-allusion to his work. All
of it, but here noticeably.
