I'm still reading, slowly, though I haven't posted here in a while because I'm behind, so even the Daily Discussion contains spoilers for me.
So I don't know if this is old news to everyone else, but I was mentioning the cross-dressing investigator Hugh/Helen Steeply to my boyfriend who hasn't read IJ but is a David Lynch fan and he immediately mentioned David Duchovny's character on Twin Peaks. Namely, cross-dressing DEA investigator Dennis/Denise Bryson. Is this a nod from DFW to DL?
Here's a pic (now I can't help but visualize Helen Steeply looking like this):

Unfortunately, based on Marathe's observations of Steeply's appearance, I don't think Hugh pulls Helen off as well as Dennis pulls off Denise!
(BTW - as an X-Files fan as well, I was disapointed to read at some point that Duchovny was "embarrassed" by his part in TP...)
