Repeating “is” is a colloquialism used by excited speakers, in Pynchon and elsewhere.


For example

“The thing of it is,

is yada yada yada blah blah blah”


There may be other interpretations, for those more

familiar with Hegel

and Russell*, but this one

seems worth mentioning.


*Putting the first “is” in quotes could point to that possibility
