The Crying of Lot 49, Group Read 2024

[Michael Bailey]

>From the same AtD passage:

“Well if Heaviside’s the Whitman,” remarked a British attendee nearby in a
striking yellow ensemble, “who’s the Tennyson, you see?” “Clerk Maxwell,
wouldn’t you say?”

Just thought that was interesting because of the Clerk Maxwell reference.
