     Don't fall prey to a silly April Fool's joke...this is completely 
     untrue.

Hi all,
     
I'm new to the list, but a long time fan of Pynchon's work.
     
I found this notice on a NYC website and thought listers in the NYC 
area might be interested:
TUE, APR 1 
     
                 One Word: Pynchon
                 With the publication of Thomas Pynchon's 
                 award-winning first novel V., he had the literary 
                 world waiting with bated breath for its follow-up -- 
                 and Gravity's Rainbow delivered, winning about every 
                 award worth mentioning whose judges didn't find the 
                 book "turgid," "overwritten," "unreadable" and 
                 "obscene." But more than the abstruseness of his 
                 novels, the mystery of the reclusive Pynchon's 
                 personal life has piqued readers' interests. 
                 Especially when, in anticipation of this spring's 
                 release of his fourth novel, Mason and Dixon, it was 
                 revealed that Pynchon lives here in New York on the 
                 Upper West Side. Get your copy of Mason and Dixon 
                 early tonight -- Pynchon will be appearing at Gryphon 
                 Books signing advance copies.
     
                 - N. Flanders
     
                 (Gryphon Bookshop, 2246 Broadway at 80th, 
                 212.362.0706; 6pm, FREE )
     
It appears to be genuine.  Here's the URL for where I found the 
notice:
