SHADOW TRANSIT; Group Read 2026

[Mark Kohut]

one book as book noticing:

Most books published start the numbering of all the pages at the title
copyright, etc. page or the first side of same and
then have blank pages and a Title only page, then the start of the
narration....

Pynchon has this novel's narration be page 1. he or Melanie probably had to
request that,

2nd noticing...

Page 5.....line 6: "Stuffy Keegan's hooch wagon---somebody rolled a bomb,
blew it all to hell"
                 line 7: "language," Boynt murmers.

What's that mean?
