The Woolf at Pynchon's door.

[Mark Kohut]

Having recently reread Mrs. Dalloway, there is a moment in it, which I did
not
mark and cannot easily find until I reread it whole again, that reminds of
Oedipa's
revelatory moment(s) in many ways.

And there is this in the book published as MOMENTS OF BEING (this book
is a collection of essays and diary entries previously available in her
lifetime)

"after a shudder shock or injury"...[there was]
"a revelation of some order, words that take away
the pain....producing in its place "rapture". ....

and "behind the cotton wool [cushioning of life], is hidden a pattern..
to which all human beings are connected"........
"we are the words; we
are the music; we are the thing itself."

The original cover for A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN, published by the Woolfs,
 was blue and pink
with a clock on something set to 10 to 2...a V, of course.
