—It's just ... all this . . . damned . . . William hunched again, looking down before him. —And when people say I stole it, that I plagiarized. —Somebody, I can't think, who was it, Gass appeared sympathetically thoughtful, —said they thought you'd lifted parts of Ulysses. —The what? —Joyce's novel, Ulysses, that you'd plagiarized . . . —Ulysses, I've never read Ulysses damn it, so how the hell . . . William looked over to see Don look troubled and start to speak. —I mean, damn it ... —What's the difference? Gass laughed. —I noticed a couple of little things you'd picked up, but what's the difference. —What do you mean, what little things? —Little things, lines here and there. That line of Thomas Pynchon's, "Inherent Vice" for instance. —But . . . who the hell is Thomas Pynchon? That line, a friend of mine, a long time ago, somebody I used to know, said . . .—What's the difference. Gass smiled. —As Melville says, we all live by selling something. He raised a hand to William's shoulder again. —What's the difference. The money? You have a real complex about money don't you William, a real castration complex without it. —Yes, the money, William muttered, in a voice that rustled —but, damn it ...

>>25336885“That’s what Jesus meant,” whispers the ghost of Slothrop’s first American ancestor William, “venturing out on the Sea of Galilee. He saw it from the lemming point of view. Without the millions who had plunged and drowned, there could have been no miracle. The successful loner was only the other part of it: the last piece to the jigsaw puzzle, whose shape had already been created by the Preterite, like the last blank space on the table.” “Wait a minute. You people didn’t have jigsaw puzzles.” “Aw, shit.”

>>25336344One to the potential causes to that were that the universe that wyatt begin to abide at were that very place at spain where wyatt’s mother dies which were that mark on the side of the road of the stations of the post-protestant spiritual condition and post-protestant partly because that were the spiritual condition that stephen from ulysses had and which allegorically were part and tied up with that whole lost generation that died or were wounded and all the absent individuals the haunted the table that virginia talks about the experience of feeling that absence and jacob’s room as novel often were concerned with that sort of thing and that were the topic that virginia woolf really begins to work up large head to steam on and that modernism which can get claimed to come to grief during the 30s with the spanish civil war and franco as dictator and also the high modernism and art deco to those times which were now turning to the fifties or something when wyatt enters the scene i am hazy on dates this book also seem to occupy the same universe and time and ambience as v. and benny profane and the whole sick crew that that time seems thoroughly post-war but not yet post-histoire or something like that the berlin wall were still just getting settled out and to the context ulysses was regarded as achieving something like the cubist art goal on the novel and paragraph level at the very stream to consciousness or something like that and that were the predicate that wyatt were at except also the post-protestant protestant art figura figura that points to the bosch table as the figura that the tools that ulysses wrought are getting used to mend but that also complicate the process to repair and the essaying to timbres and timbers and metals and exchange rates and that entropy were something that wyatt as artist figura will encounter on bildung pattern as pressed and essayed against aristotle causality and causes and bosch table or something like that
