I'm currently reading Mason & Dixon. Has anyone else noticed how titles to his later novels are written into Mason & Dixon? In the pic is "inherent Vice" but I've also come across "against the day." Did he already have these books in mind while writing M&D? Pynchon is a true trickster.

Inherent Vice is a term from Gaddis and Against the Day is Biblical and from Faulkner I believe. Bleeding Edge is an anachronism and a pretty common term referring to technology.

While Pinecone may have gotten it from Gaddis (I'm aware Pynch read Gaddis), Inherent Vice is a real thing.
