An incredible accomplishment, especially given that most educated Americans consider the novel to difficult to tackle. Is your next Pynchon project is Inherent Vice? I took a year and a half of intensive Russian in college, which, being American, means that I have little understanding of it. Enough, though, to glean from your blurb that The Rainbow of Gravity attracted the disgust of the Pulitzer committee, but went on to win the National Book Award. What sort of reception to you expect from young Russians? Does the novel have any name recognition outside of students of American lit?</font></font></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2">Congratulations again!</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2">Laura<br></font><div><blockquote style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid">-----Original Message-----
