"In other interesting news Flavio Melo very kindly contacted this site with
information from the Brazilian magazine Veja. They reported on a Pynchon
endorsement for Rubem Fonseca's latest novel _A confraria dos espadas_.
Here is Pynchon's blurb in Portuguese.

"Cada livro dele não é só uma viagem que vale a pena: é uma viagem de algum
modo necessária."

(As a side note, Pynchon signed off his letters to the Brazilian translator
of Vineland, "um abraco". Pynchon clearly still delights in the language
and art found south of the American borders.)  "
