Re: Speaking of Pynchon… (SLPAD)

[Laura Kelber]

OK, I don't have my ATD handy, but there's a description of the end of a
sea journey (maybe when Dally's arriving in Europe?) that talks about the
vast horizon of the sea narrowing as the ship heads to port; a narrowing of
possibilities. Who wouldn't look at aging that way, at times? Whatever the
accomplishments, the joy of the journey, the possibilities are dwindling
away to nothingness. Though I still hope he has something more to share
with us.
