The Crying of Lot 49 Group Read

[Mark Kohut]

Chap 3..Let's look at the text, not just the historical puzzle.
First paragraph has the word 'logically' three times."the way it fitted,
logically, togther"  Pared with
'as if there were revelation all around her".....my computer wants to
aout-crrect to 'revelations"...

but one logical revelation is all.

It was to come throught the stamp collection. What are your
associations with a stamp collection?
I remember when stamp collecting was marketed as a way to see and learn
about the world. Stamps
were created by countries to honor their heroes; to honor their history; to
honor the natural beauty of a country.
Stamps were a revelation of the history and life of a country....

What could mute stamps say? Muted post horn. silent history.

Potsmaster. "So they make misprints".

The motif that history can be printed wrong, so to speak? Foreshadows The
Courier's Tragedy and
even Pynchon and the Peter Pinguid Society getting history wrong?
