Pynchon Blurbs Again

[bgannon]

In the intro to Stone Junction, Pynchon misspells the names of the main
character and his mother ('Pearce' instead of 'Pearse').  Is this his way of
saying that he thought the book was sloppy but he was writing the blurb
because Mrs. P had asked him to?   Or is it just very lazy editing?
