re: pynchon bio.

if you don't mind conversing with one of america's stranger 
academics, try contacting Khachig Tololyan at Wesleyan University.  
(try ktololyan at wesleyan.edu, but no guarantees he's technologically 
competent).  He's the former editor of pynchon notes, and a great 
guy, terrifically bright and very friendly, but real busy, so you 
probably have to keep after him.  he's met pynchon (he doesn't know I 
know that--sorry to be so mysterious but...w-well...) , and has a lot 
of bio info, that don't remember from the post-war american fiction class 
i had with him just a few years ago...

on another topic--has anyone ever put any of pynchon's song lyrics to 
music?  i am always trying to work out rhythms in my head as i read, 
and most seem to be ironic turns on genre--blues, big band, hardcore, 
psychedelic (sp?), british music hall, etc.  if i had any 
compositional talent and was really bored, it would be a terribly 
interesting project (perfect for all you experimental music majors at 
small new england liberal arts colleges...)

anyway...tanks fer yer time and efforts
