"PUBLISHERS FIRE BACK AT BOOKSELLERS' SUIT
By George Myers Jr.

. . . 
 Rumor is that El Mysterioso Thomas Pynchon is working on a novel reportedly
about the Mason-Dixon line.
. . ."

Do these rumors have any basis at all in recent fact,
 or have the same people been circulating the same rumor based entirely on
that little Newsweek item of August 7, 1978?
