It's all theatre.

[Mark Kohut]

I like how Pynchon has it all 'poised' under the rocket, book-length.. Here
is
a looping up of the Evacuation scene near the end:

p. 738, Miller edition "It all poises here. Passageways of routine, still
cogent enough, still herding us through time....
the iron rockets waiting outside"....and much more even better....including
the great phrase "wind-beat moment"...
