Talk:Inherent Vice cover analysis

Can you Wiki folks please make the Cover Analysis section editable? Thanks.

Note that the artist with the Pynchonian name, Darshan Zenith, believes his image depicts dawn. Which it certainly could if that's a Hawaiian surf shop. But once the image is transposed to represent an imaginary surf shop somewhere near Gordita Beach & the alternate universe of Inherent Vice, the "sunrise" must become a sunset, since SoCal faces west. So when DZ's image becomes attached to Pynchon's narrative its meaning changes.

Sunset's of course more appropriate for the mood of Pynchon's Noir anyway, since it's pretty much the end of an era that's occurring as Doc pursues his investigations.... --Pschmid1 11:23, 8 August 2009 (PDT)
