BEg2 ch- Who killed Traipse and WIndust

[Mark Kohut]

YES!.....the novel is like this (as long as one adds that it is comically

Everything is about asking the wrong questions; that's the important
joke.....not like any of the other
major books; most like *Inherent Vice..*..Pynchon's late capitalism
vision......As if Measure for Measure were a comedy....
