Adventures in Etymology

[RICHARD ROMEO]

Anybody read this funny piece from the Pomona web site.  A guy named 
B.M.W. Shrapnel tales of meeting Pynch three times and even gives advice 
for his next book.  Check it out, it's a hoot.

"..down to stems and seeds
my two great loves are dead...
cars ar' chasin' me
from across the sea
off to me my maker
face the enemy"--'The New Timmy'
