CoL49 Group Reading

[J K Van Nort]

Greetings,Having just recently returned to this list serve, I noticed a thread in the March archives titled New Pad that suggested a group reading of CoL49. Someone suggested 5 pages a week. In case others join there would be plenty of segments; 5 pages
is bound to have a week’s worth of idea production.Assuming that 5 pages is enough for a week and that I’ll host the first few weeks, here are some questions and ideas to masticate as we read this week.If naming the main character Oedipa alludes to Oedipus Rex, what is the plague that drives her to solve the riddle/case? 
How do Mucho Maas' self-recriminations reflect an alternative to Oedipa's Tupperware world?
How are we to interpret the three images that come to Oedipa when she first receives the letter (Mazatlan hotel door, Bartok Concerto, Jay Gould bust)?
Is there a pattern to Pierce Inverarity's various voices in his cryptic phone call? If so, how does that pattern connect to the quest?So let’s post our thoughts over the week as we read, and I’ll post new questions next Sunday.Names of people interested based on ‘new pad’ thread in archive:David MorrisMark KohutMichael BaileyJoseph TracyNeal FutzJemmie BloocherI hope this sparks some interest. Never tried this before so please offer suggestions and criticisms.
In solidarity
