Pynchon mention

[Doug Millison]

in the New York Observer, issue of January 17, 2000, in "The Eight-Day
Week" section (p. 22). listing for Jan 14:

Ohmm, ohmm good:  She taught our own Adam Begley yoga, then he called her a
"copiously talented, daring writer" in his review of her novel--you do the
math. Lissome young 'Cliffie Emily Barton's debut novel, _The Testament of
Yves Gudrun_ has footnotes and got blurbed by Thomas Pynchon; tonight, join
a moist swamp of young balding Harvard folk and mythology majors who worked
on the literary magazine in college and then "played it safe" and went to
law school and now hate everything about themselves, even their clothes.
Meet _New Yorker_ fact-checkers through a haze of clove cigarettes and the
clink of grown-up drinks they read about in _Esquire_, and hear them say,
"I thought Thomas Pynchon was dead. He, like, wrote some hard book? And he
was disfigured or something, right?" [Velvet Lounge, 223 Mulberry Street, 6
