CoL49 - Entropy

[J K Van Nort]

Mark sez: 




> Let's try this notion: TRP has the time of Oedipa's time (so far in her life) now in America be linked to that dead world TRP wrote of in his story. .....



> But now the emphasis is on life breaking through the entropic tower which is everywhere....Oedipa's quest, unknown fully to herself yet.







At the end of Entropy, Audabe smashes a window to let in the world, essentially speeding up the balancing of temperature that will result in entropy. She is a morning song of lovers departing, based on her name. Callisto's contained, moderated world that he controlled will be destroyed. She must overcome his Tower is Everywhere conception of the world in order to be the morning of a new world, which we see Oedipa take to the next level. Maxine's observing the golden trees again at the end of Bleeding Edge might represent that new understanding as well. Three female characters that Pynchon links over time?







In solidarity,
