Regrets: leaving V. at the Scarborough barbershop, winter 1988(?)

V. was a used paperback pocketbook for sale. I shoulda bought it. 

This was treated more reverently.

Link: a beginner's guide to Thomas Pynchon here. Frankly, I like the works of PKD better. For the shortcut watch Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly. Vaguely related: here is a New Yorker profile of Samuel R. Delany. Reading the library copy of Dahlgren when I was a kid really put the zap in me.
