d-nozzle? Somebody who wrinkles his nose?

I couldn't read more than 20 pages of the Name of the Rose. A unbelievable

F's Pendulum seemed for me to be in the same vein, better constructed.

To compare it with Pynchon's novels that deal with the present or recent
past doesn't make much sense to me.
