It's funny how when a true intellectual writes a novel, it doesn't need one single bit of obscurantism. It's funny how it doesn't use the references / depth as a passport to keep people out / "challenge them" (as DFW put it) but to add extra enjoyment to people who happen to have the knowledge, while doing nothing to deter more casual readers (similarly to The Simpsons, kek).
