Interview with Michael Naumann

[RICHARD ROMEO]

Check out Library Journal, 2/15/97 issue--an interview with Henry Holt 
President & CEO, Michael Naumann.  On pg. 106 there is a picture of Mr. N 
with a copy of M& D on his desk.  His comments on M&D:  "_The_ great 
American book everyone has been hoping for".
Q:  And this year you have Thomas Pynchon?
A:  "Pynchon's M&D is without a doubt the best book I have ever been 
associated with.  Both [enlightenment and escape] are part of my 
publishing philosophy, and at most two or three books really represent 
both.  Maybe Pynchon is one."
