[Mark Kohut]

Ewers sez:
p126 - James Town opens from the inside? ("Tho' small in secular
Dimensions,...")

I think this whole paragraph is VERY revealing of some of Pynchon's
deepest vision
of the human.
"yet entering, ye discover its true extent".-- [another spin of the
larger on the inside trope]--
which proves Mazy as an European City....[not right--angled or
singled-up, that reductionism
  of life in TRP's vision]
"no end of corners yet to be turn'd".....[simple daily life winding
effortlessly, endlessly, full of
                                                               turnful
surprises]
"Tis Loaves and Fishes, here in James's Town, and Philosophy has no answer".
                                                             [Miracle
of the loaves and fishes in the Bible and
                                                               no
answers '"in all your philosophy, Horatio"]

            from wikipedia:                    Feeding the multitude
is the combined term used to refer to two separate miracles of Jesus
in the Gospels. The First Feeding Miracle, "The Feeding of the 5,000"
is the only miracle (apart from the resurrection) which is present in
all four canonical Gospels: Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:31-44, Luke
9:10-17 and John 6:5-15.[1] The second miracle, "The Feeding of the
4,000" with 7 loaves of bread is reported by Matthew 15:32-16:10 and
Mark 8:1-9 but not by Luke or John. This miracle is also known as the
miracle of the seven loaves and fish, although it is more usually
known as the 'miracle of the five loaves and fish.'

"He appears lucid and sincere."
