You don't mean, do you, that Pynchon blurbed Going Native, The Famished 
Road, or Godhead, do you?  (That's a real question, not a flame: thanks.)
----------------------------------------------------------
Nope.  But Going Native definitely has a "Pynchonian sensibility" to it 
("Nonsense and Sensibility"), 
though the book really peters out towards the end, not to mention its 
brutality.  Same with Arc D'X.  I think I'm trying to satisfy the Pynchon 
lust on all these bastard sons and daughters, dark doomsayers and 
humorless psychophants . There is nothing like the real thing.  I guess 
that's why I like The Famished Road--didn't remind me of Pynch at all.  
Ohh April april what dost thou mock me with your far away smiles....
