little help?

[tony wildman]

I'm currently researching a Masters thesis on Pynchon.The subject the effect of Pynchon's absence from public life, the effect that this has had on the reception of his work, and theories as to why pynchon has chosen this tactic. I've looked for the following articles but i've had no luck. can anyone help? would appreciate it greatly.

Salon Magazine  The Return of J.D. Salinger, Sort Of by Dwight Garner. Sometime in 1999 (need the date of publication)

J.C.Batchelor, Thomas Pynchon is Not Thomas Pynchon, or, This is the End of the Plot Which Has No Name, Soho Weekly News 22/04/1976 

New York Magazine, December 1997, Nancy Jo Sales article in which she stalked and photographed Mr P.


Worth a try.

Also - since the library resources available to me are crap, i haven't been able to get the following :

'The Quest for Pynchon' from the book 'Mindful Pleasures: Essays on Thomas Pynchon' . George Levine and David Leverenz eds. 

Cheers, toe.
