the man-shaped light & Pym's snow-white giant

[Dee Kilroy]

Anyone out there with tips linking ATD's arctic expedition (pages 145-153)
with Poe's 'Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym'?

Every time I've read those pages of Against The Day my mind reaches for the
ending of Pym, yet I don't see much out there relating the two.  Could be I
dunno how to dig for a connection proper.  Could be there's no link at
all.  COULD be...

(Naturally, also find myself contemplating Robert Peary's theft of a
certain sacred meteor from the Inughuit in the late 1890s...)

These are the things that keep me up at night!
