Early Pynchon (Salon)

[Steven Maas (CUTR)]

This from the Salon review mentioned by John Sutherland:
http://www.salonmagazine.com/april97/pynchon970425.html

                            From his earliest work, Pynchon has
                            focused on that state of heightened and
                            modified attention called paranoia. And I do
                            mean earliest. In a piece of fiction from his
                            high school newspaper, he has a character
                            mentioning "a fascinating experiment in
                            psychology entailing the instilling of
                            paranoid hallucinations into the logical mind
                            by psychoanalytic deletion of the superego."

So now I suppose there'll be a run on his old high school newspapers?
