  Pynchon, too, is great for posing with ... 
  perfect for women who spend their whole day 
  draped languidly over a chair at the Museum of 
  Modern Art's cafe with a book perched on their 
  knees."
     
     >>So why aren't they there??  I work by MoMA's cafe, and haven't yet 
     seen women draped languidly there with a copy of M&D on their lap.  In 
     fact, I'd like to see someone _try_ to appear languid while balancing 
     the book on their lap.
     
     
  [Pynchon] did not even object to the holding 
  of a "Thomas Pynchon lookalike contest" to 
  mark the publication of the book on April 30.
  
  
  >>We did announce, didn't we, that Chris K. 
  won that contest? (I think I came in second, 
  not having been there.)
