BODY:
   Thomas Pynchon, the reclusive author whose last book was "Gravity's 
Rainbow" in 1973, has two novels in the works. One is said to be a 
science-fiction thriller inspired by Pynchon's passion for "Mothra" and 
other Japanese horror movies. The other book involves the Mason-Dixon line, 
and Pynchon is now in England looking into the lives of Charles Mason and 
Jeremiah Dixon, the British surveyors who established the 
Pennsylvania-Maryland boundary in the eighteenth century. As part of his 
previous research, Pynchon walked the 233-mile length of the Mason-Dixon 
line.
