Doin´ a little promo for my friend Lee/BzB on "Father´s Day" in Germany, a
day of mad drinking and other mindless pleasures.
This Canadian site has been one of my favorite p-sites from the beginning.
Doing the Pynchon interview is great fun.
Been to Byron´s site with an old p 60 too, it´s ok and with a 166 it´s no
problem at all.
I also recommend Byron´s "Ilkoids"-section:

"Having completed the Pynchon Oeuvre (five novels and one story collection),
many find themselves needing more. More? But surely TP is sui generis if
anyone is! ...Yet one may discover, in small but potent increments, aspects
of Pynchon in many other writers, some of whom came before, some of whom are
contemporaries, and others who have followed. The following is, needless to
say, arbitrary, as it is entirely dependent on what the Bulb has read. To
make this section complete, feedback is not only welcome, but required."

You´ll find many names of authors on this page that have been in discussion
on this list. The site owner is a great fan of Joseph McElroy (of whom I´d
never heard before) and has sent _Lookout Cartridge_ and _Plus_ to me.
