BtZ42 the Kenosha Kid

[Mark Kohut]

Pynchon stopped publishing short stories after V., which contained one
previously published-- unless one counts The Crying of Lot 49---"a short
story marketed as a novel"---but in GR he has more than a few set scenes
kinda complete in themselves. Like stories, although GR is also one of the
most totally connected over the long haul novels going. Early bits looped
later.

The still-puzzling Kenosha Kid section comes full circle. Why some and not
others, any insights? IS it
a 'flaw' to be still so puzzling (as to even surface meanings) after all
these years? Pynchon as puzzle-maker not novelist?

In addition, like episodes 5 and 9 before it, this one seems to come full
circle: it begins and ends with semantic play on an enigmatic phrase, “You
never did the Kenosha Kid.
