BtZ/BtI: Kubrick/Pynchon

[Smoke Teff]

Is Pynch known to have any particular relationship to *2001*?

The last section of the movie*t *is called "Jupiter and Beyond the
Infinite". It comes out five years before *GR. *Hard to imagine any
scenario whereby Pynchon doesn't see this movie. Thus doesn't *know *his
title has an overt relationship to the movie chapter.

Reminds me: there's a David Foster Wallace story in *Oblivion *called "The
Soul Is Not a Smithy," correcting a line from the end of *A Portrait of the
Artist as a Young Man *in which JJ says that the soul--Dedalus's,
anyway--is. A smithy.
