In the past ten+ years Pynchon's done one thing after another to revive his
literary career, both SL and _Vineland_ serving to keep us reminded he's
still around.  Why this belief that he might be averse to making money *and*
making sure he gets all the publicity he can?

the same reason adventurers climb Mt. Everest. Few are adverse to accumulating a little dough, however. I'm with Vaska.
