The Crying of Lot 49, the Group Read of 2024

[David Morris]

“Let your hair down.”
What does that “action” usually mean?

It’s the key Oed sees as the means of her “rescue.”  And she BLOWS her
first attempt with Pierce (she bares her artificial wig, powerless).

“Soon realize that her tower […] [isn’t her captor] that what really keeps
her where she is is magic, anomalous, and malignant, visited on her from
outside for no reason at all.”

And she realizes that she has no defense, and very little to even measure
the shape or power of the force which traps her.
