Just thought I'd draw attention to a review of Siegel's _Lineland_, to be
found at:

http://www.rpg.net/quail/libyrinth/pynchon.lineland.html

Review by Laurence Daw, the main contributor to "Spermatikos Logos," the
Pynchon corner of the 'Libyrinth' web project. I don't expect any of it to
make it into the press kit. Some excerpts:

> Quite simply put, large parts
>   of Lineland are self-serving and narcissistic in the
>   extreme.
[snip]
>Siegel's comments about the significance of desktop
>   publishing in an age of "Shocked" Internet sites, Pentium
>   multi-media home computer systems, cheap colour flat-bed
>   scanners, etc., etc., are, frankly, boring, and certainly
>   not immune to his constant propensity for
>   self-aggrandizement.

You get the picture ...

Cheers,
Paul
