How has TV affected TP's writing??? A different kind of thread...

[Grant White]

Hi all,

This has to be the longest thread name I've seen this week. You got a 
point there about GR being a cinematic novel and Vineland a TV. I would 
have put COL49 in there as well. Yet for mine, I don't really know that 
TRP writes the TV as well as he did the cinema, or even as well as some 
other writers do (Don DeLillo's Mao II leaps to mind) or maybe its all in 
the way he sees the medium. God help us though if Oprah and her ilk come 
to "inspire" him. :)

While I'm at it, as an antipodean, I read my mail when the rest of you 
sleep. I must admit that I do envy you guys proximity and the thought of 
crashing a Lotion gig to spot the man in the baggy pants. But I enclose 
my address in case any of you are in Aus and are desperate for a home brew.
