A month ago I posted a facetious hypothesis on my local BBS that Pynchon
actually WAS the Unabomer! The New York Press had printed an article
noting the Bomer's (or Bomber's) obsession with wood and had posited that
he was a former lit major--possibly a Joyce scholar. It seemed to me that
Pynchon was one of the few contemporary writers conversant in both
literature and technology, and that the Unabomer suggested nothing so
much as one of his characters come to life. So it's interesting to see
that others also see correspondences.
