Talk:Real Time and Narrative Time in Inherent Vice

How do you account for "It was late winter in Gordita" (page 298, line 5) or, on page 102, "the wintertime smell of crude oil..." (line 11)? Spring comes sometime between the 19th to the 23rd of March, so according to Pynchon here we're sometime before March 29, yes? WikiAdmin 23:43, 16 October 2009 (PDT)
