On the subject of Pynchon-blurbed writers . . . though rather annoyed
(albeit intrigued) by _Arc d'X_, I nonetheless read, and highly recommend,
_Leap Year_. The book, written in 1989, is a mix of fact and fiction about
the 1988 presidential election (you know the cast, Doubya's Dad, Gore,
Dukakis, et. al.). Of course, Sally Heming has a significant role as well.
The parallels with the current campaign are almost eerie. The Tipper and Al
parts are my fave.
