Still with us:

"...the polymorphous perversity embodied by the sexual bacchanals aboard
the Anubis during the book's middle actually don't [sic] seem entirely
positive, as with Slothrop's abusive, pedophiliac encounter with the
eleven-year-old Bianca..."

As Letzler begins by calling Weisenburger's _GR Companion_ "the most
indispensable Pynchon book," one wishes he'd consulted it: "Wrong. She has
to be 16 or 17 years old." (2nd ed., p. 259)
