Remember that he is the first writer cited with the use of that
word about head doctors in the OED and his fiction finds them all.....crazy.

There is Dr. Hilarious. Another, right? (coffee no yet kicked in) Here
Geronimo Diaz "was clearly insane but it was a wonderful,random sort of
madness.....etc"
He is introduced with one of those expressed attitudes Pynchon apologized
for
in the intro: "his analyst, a crazed and boozy wetback..."

who "screamed at him over martinis about his mom". Very interesting given
the recent
autobiographical story that just went round the horn. I visualize him this
read as
like Brolin as Bigfoot, and Bigfoot/Vond in general, power used to
intimidate and control.
