CNN

[Tim Ware]

Regarding this Pynchon on CNN deal, when M&D was just coming out I got a
call from someone in the HHolt PR dept asking if I knew anyone who was
"famous" who read Pynchon. When I mentioned what I thought was the obvious
choice--Larroquette--they were unaware that he was a P-reader. How
interesting that he pops up on this CNN "report." To me, the whole thing
smacks of a pre-arranged publicity stunt for the novel. I wouldn't be too
surprised if none of those guys in the video is Pynchon. 

However, I haven't seen the video, and I sure would like to. If anyone out
there would be kind enough to mail a tape to me, I'll check it out and
mail it right back. Promise. 

Thanks in advance.
