Pay attention, for without warning or footnoting you may hear allusions to Thomas Pynchon, Susan Faludi, Joseph Campbell, Jenny Holzer, Andrew Sarris or Anna Kisselgoff. A starlet bathing in a lake suggests "Fanne Foxe in a Maxfield Parrish painting." And don't worry if some of the names are obscure to you. Nobody, including the writers, gets every reference...
