"Small Rain" down may fall.

[Mark Kohut]

Pynchon names:

Nathan "Lardass" Levine. A little hard to get a 'beer belly' so young, no?
Pierce (again) as mentioned.
----Levine's way with 'little Buttercup" in Small Rain is the v opposite of
the piercing of Metztger in Lot 49.
"she sat close to him [after they drank and talked for awhile..about
collegiate topics (i wince. does TRP? could have been a little more
specific for fiction's sake, yes? Only defense might be, it didn't matter
what they talked about)], aroused, impatient, touching him." ..."In here",
she whispered. "there's a cabin."...."I was beginning to wonder", he said.

COMING: the sex scene itself! ("some kind of sexual encounter does take
place, but you'd never know it from the text"--TRP)

Another Benny. Benny Picnic called Picnic. Benny is a name for
fun--"Profane" is the opposite of
the Sacred in Eliade.
Rizzo....long before Ratso Rizzo, remember? Gotta look up 'Rizzo".
'Twinkletoes" Dugan.
Capucci--"they gave him the finger".

and Baxter...the first name of his good Creative Writing teacher at
Cornell. Baxter Hathaway.
