Chekhov's Mistress
My first contribution to the Pynchon Wiki
My first contribution to the Pynchon Wiki is “Jacob’s-ladder” from page 14 (I’m going back to the beginning of my notes). My entry: “Used here as “a marine ladder of rope or chain with wooden or iron rungs” (Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged) but is suggestive of Jacob’s ladder in Genesis: 28:12 And he [jacob] dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. (King James version)”
