Okay, I am going to play the idiot here and ask the stupid
question of the decade: What do you all know about Pynchon. That is, I
realize that his "biography" is shrouded in mystery, but I was wondering
what any or all of you know about the name tacked onto all of these books
we have read and how it relates, if it relates, to any person that may
have, at some time or another, existed.
Thankyavellymuch
Anne
