from a contemporary writer named James Robison

[Mark Kohut]

Reminded me so much of the way Pynchon leaves out key historical
events and it is
a light in the universe metaphor:

"I saw a Nova-like show about dark matter, how scientists know that it
exists because some light waves firing to earth bend and curve all
around a precisely shaped nothingness. I thought, boy howdy, this is
how so much art, plastic or literary, from the 20th and 21st Century
behaves: Its true content is what it refuses to describe explicitly,
but the shape of its meaning may be precisely limned by implication."
