Reading into *Glimpses of the Unthinkable *that David sent around,
something hit me perhaps relevant to BE. We all noticed how this is the
first novel in which, when
alluding to a movie, Pynchon put its year into brackets after it
[2021]......In this essay and other academic ones like it, the year of the
work is presented that way. Why? To situate
it in a time from a perspective way beyond it, from a scholarly
perspective beyond it.....Same apply to the movies in BE? Seen as if from a
scholarly perspective with the future of BE
therefore already very beyond the years of any movies? ...
