Idea about Crying of Lot 49: that a metafictional reading is potentially appropriate; that (though, no, I don’t know what this means, or how to take this further) the book is itself the “Varo tower” or its tapestries that Oedipa seeks escape from, (it’s being erected, woven, as we read, perhaps too); and the ending (maybe the mere fact that it ends) constitutes such an escape.

Tarco, I say, after whom the city of Tarquinia is named, who, on account of his sagacity from boyhood, is said by the myth-tellers to have been born with grey hair. Strabo 5.2.2
