Summer Silliness

Dan writes:
"Rather than leave lesser minds to the important task, Pynchon       
assumes diFillipo's persona, going so far as to join this list and
keep up diFillipo's front by suggesting that he himself died and
has been 'replaced'. (Perhaps also miffed that _Vineland_ hasn't
received the praise it should on this list and therefore ironically
commenting on it.)
 
The other possibility is that Wanda Tinasky is diFillipo's secret
correspondant and/or lover, and that there never was A Thomas Pynchon,
just her.   BTW, Wanda Tinasky also spells "Want Day Skin"!  Coincidence?
I think not."


I am beginning to think that I am reading--or perhaps a character in--a story
by Nabokov or Borges!  I'd better get back to MARTIN FIERRO instead!
