I don't see a Pynchon panel or paper on 12/30, but I did run across this
one, potentially interesting to those of you able to decipher the recent
discussions about jazz (now I know how you feel when we psychobabble to
each other):  "Bergson, Charlie Parker and Deleuze:  The Calculus of Music
Notation and the Contingencies of Emergent Form in Bebop."  12/30 at 8:30
a.m., #644 in the MLA program.

BTW, Libra more entertaining than White Noise?  NEVER!  I'm teaching the
latter this week and can hardly pause to rail at the students, I'm so busy
reading aloud from the text and guffawing. But I haven't read Libra in
years, so I'll take another look at it--particularly since I now live just
outside of Dallas.  In fact I'm taking a visitor to the Grassy Knoll
tomorrow.  If we were in LA still I'd be taking her to "the condo" and
Rockingham Drive.  Ahh, necrotourism...   Diana
