I went to see Christo speak last year, and at the end, even though he
had already mocked those who did it, yet another person stood and asked
him when he was going to do a project in THEIR favorite site.  Christo was
remarkably ungraceful about explaining to the man that he couldnt wrap
every natural wonder with his art.  :>   I remember my utter sympathy
with the questioner, who was dead on about the Shenandoah, and also delight
over Christo brushing it off, refusing to even LOOK at the spaces
others pushed him toward.  unless he happened upon them himself, i suppose.

anyway.  in his next novel, i am hoping for Quantum Theory.  If any
brand of science suits Pynchon more, please enlighten me.  and if he
doesnt get into Chaos theory he's chicken.

just some thoughts on what pynchon SHOULD be writing.  :>
