Pynchon's travels (WAS traveling in postmodern style!)

[Doug Millison]

According to Jules/Chrissie, Pynchon wasn't "brave" or "adventurous" enough
to travel to Africa to research the Herero.  Does anybody know if that's
likely to be accurate? Or is he known to have traveled and researched as
Jesper suggests? I've assumed that Pynchon must have done a lot of that,
which is one reason why I was surprised to read that report in Lineland.

Keep on truckin',
Doug

 no word, and looked at all objects with a wild and vacant stare.
