Meditation on the Dark Lady:
Doble-V + Doble-V = W.W.
From Carole A. Holdsworth, Dulcinea and Pynchon’s V:
Tanner may have stated it best:
“V. is whatever lights you to the end of the street: she is also the dark annihilation waiting at the end of the street.”
(Tony Tanner, page 36, “V. and V-2.” in Pynchon: A Collection of Critical Essays. Ed. Edward Mendelson. Englewood Cliffs, N. J.: Prentice-Hall, 1978. 16-55).
