No use.

Lew left a note to throw off his fellow employees and business associates that he'd "be back shortly." This is the sentence that points out the note was, um, "no use." Is there more to it? Probably! This whole bit about Lew fleeing and trying to be left alone is probably just Pynchon recounting his experiences in trying to stop writing! "I'm all noveled out! Leave me alone, editors and publishers and critics and fans!" But then we were all, "No, sir. No. You must keep writing. I believe you've promised us at least one more book along the lines of Gravity's Rainbow, Mason & Dixon, and Against the Day. So get to work!"
