<DIV>Hi all,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I was at one of the National Book Foundation's 'Writers on Writers' panel discussions a month or so back, and the topic was 'Gravity's Rainbow'. One of the panelists was a guy from one of those publishers (Viking? Can't remember -- I have a horrible memory for credentials) , and he mentioned that there's a collection of correspondence between Gaddis and Pynchon set to be published next year. Does anybody know anything more about this? I can't find any info online about such correspondence existing at all.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>
<DIV>Alex</DIV></DIV><!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlStart|**|-~-->
