Blinky gave out a number of stories.
* * * * * * * * * *
We only have two examples of the stories Blinky gave out which Pynchon probably did on purpose. What he's given us is two different examples of the violent trauma that altered Blinky's eye. Two different possibilities. Two different ways of seeing things. Blinky's eyes themselves. If your eyes see the world in two different ways, how can you be sure of the truth of anything you're seeing? Blinky's stories now match his vision. Do you believe the left eye or the right eye? And does it even matter if both are, in their own ways, true?
