Moody, Pynchon, Congrats

[davemarc]

Since Rick Moody (is he still checking out this list?) probably won't blow
his own horn, I feel obligated to draw P-list attention to the following
compliment from Rob Spillman.  For the whole article, which has to do with
some kind of comparison between the literary "brat pack" of the Eightiesand
a literary "non-brat pack" of this great decade, check out

"In April, Moody -- whose novel "The Ice Storm" has been made into a movie
by Ang Lee starring Sigourney Weaver -- will publish "Purple America," a
dense, tremendously well-crafted novel, something like Cheever crossed with
Pynchon, a mature work that throws down a literary gauntlet to all serious
young writers."
