The Crying of Lot 49 - Thomas Pynchon 
A few years back, my friend Dan and I saw the American Analog Set at the Knitting
Factory in NYC. Mid-set, he taps me on the shoulder and shifts my focus to the girl next to him, on the other side (of couse), and the nape of her neck (I often wonder
whether 'of her neck' is redundant). A simple line-art black tatoo lay there -- the horn of trystero -- making us wonder, 'Did she get that tatoo because of
Pynchon's novel?' or 'Was Pynchon's work based, somewhat, in reality?'.
We both decided to leave that question unanswered. The world is for more surreal
like that.
