BtZ42 Scene 17

[Mark Kohut]

p. 139 "paradoxical phase, when weak stimuli get strong responses"....this
is a buried prophecy
within GR of what is going to soon happen to this Group Read...
Then there is light, a dream of light, lotsa thematic connections, then a
knock on the door and Spectro is dead. Pointsman's original seven Book
owners are now just two. His work in trouble, foxes recalled(?), more on
the non-reversibility of events...Pointsman alone, unhappy...The Ghost of
Spectro who did not seem to differentiate between Inside and Outside is
back..another dream (of killing the Minotaur)....Pointsman still hopes
Slothrop can win him a Nobel,,,
a secret history of the times is mentioned, which might allude to a theme
of V. sez Fowler?

What's with all the light? Thematic foreshadowing of death by Rocket's
light?
