sequals???

[Andersen Jesper Sparre]

Okay, at the risk of starting a flame war or other such mayhem which I'ld 
rather avoid, i really have to say to your sequal:

	Are you out of your mind???

This isn't Scarlet O'hara your messing with here.  The collection of 
characters and the world belonging to GR belongs to TP.  How can anyone 
seek to continue with a story so firmly embedded in the unconscious as 
GR?  The novel not a plot which can be continued at the your whim, its an 
entrance into way of thinking which is unique to the author.  Was this 
Goen with the Wind ro other such drivel then you might be on better 
standing, after all, in that case the plot driven story has simple 
extensions which anyone could pick up on (NOT that I was in favor of that 
book either.)

Futhermore, unless you are prepared to write off Pynchon as a sloppy 
fool, surely you must be aware of the fact that the ambiguities in the 
story must be intentional.  The story is inconplete because it is 
supposed to be, not so other people can wax poetic about the future 
lives of Roger Mexico & Co.

I'm impressed by both your skill, ambitions and arrogance that you would 
undertake this project, but I think your skills would have been better 
focused on writing something that was your own rather than invading the 
carefully crafted world of a gifted author.
