MORE WODEHOUSEAN PYNCHON
Following up on the thought expressed in this post, as I read the scene of drunken revelry triggered by Slothrop's drinking game at the Casino (pp. 248-9, Bantam edition) it struck me that the scenes of riotous merry-making at the Drones Club, which Wodehouse often alluded to but never (as far as I know) described, must have been very much the same sort of thing, though undoubtedly less extravagant.
