COL 49 Group Reading

[Mark Kohut]

Yes, Oedipa is Rapunel, caught in sunny California and boring suburban
changeless days. Repressed self-unaware days? With fondue parties.
California, where Nixon was from and, later, Reagan was born again.
We will learn Oed is a Young Republican. ....the American culture is
scientific-based intellectually, since that mag
is mentioned. Science, technology, just a few years after the start of the
space race and our nation's push to be first in it, all things science.

Oedipa will soon let down her hair. This novella is, among other things, a
quest novel as many have taught it.
