CIA & Nobel Prize

[MalignD]

Given Pynchon's trashing of the CIA in GR and
elsewhere, one wonders if that institution might have
anything to do with his perennial passing-over for the
prize:

"The collaboration between the "Democratic Left" and
the CIA included strike-breaking in France, informing
on Stalinists (Orwell and Hook), and covert smear
campaigns to prevent leftist artists from receiving
recognition (including Pablo Neruda's bid for a Nobel
Prize in 1964 [351])."
