A film over an invisible: Melvin Bukiet, Betreiber of the New Yorker
Szenelokals KGB, a Thomas-Pynchon-Lookalike arranged "Thomas Pynchon - A
Journey into the Mind of P." of the brothers Dubini 1997. Occasion was the
latest publication out of the feather the well worldwide most famous
unknown. In view of the fact that officially no one knows current appearance
around Pynchons, represented such a Contest naturally a paradoxically,
zeitigte however the (desired) speculations of wildest nature. The present
examined one another fuller curiosity and suspicion. Wouldn't such an
occasion offer frustrated that of decades long Weltabgeschiedenheit the
perfect opportunity to master to mix itself unrecognized under its admirers?
Who would under the present come into question? Soon was already certain:
only that, highly suspicious retaining man with long coat, sunglasses and
hat the relevant can be itself! As numerous eyes couples the suspicious
fixed, left it fluchtartig that locally. For the Pynchomanen a proof more.
Perhaps it concerned really the author. More probable however yet only
around a harmless passerby, who had gets lost himself accidentally into the
KGB-Panoptikum. A pretty anecdote out of the current documentation of the
Dubini-brothers over Thomas Pynchon. It outlines the measurement of the
myths production - a loyal, but dialectically consistent reaction medialer
curiosity to Liebesentzug. For it naturally concerns remains in Pynchons
Verweigerungsgestus an operation effective in the return end of usual
PR-strategies - and also a sound neck declared Anti-sign sign always another
sign sign. Pynchon is and remains cult. It found entrance into the musical
vanguard of Laurie Anderson until The Residents (of which also the
Soundtrack to the film comes), stood godfather for novels of Jim Dodge and
served DeLillo and spornte numberless imitators on. Alone the internet
entries! Although the Macher reproduce last of all sooner Pynchons myth, to
engage than in substance or aesthetically in its work, offers yet the
material promoted to light sufficiently material for continuing reflections.
And above all desire makes to read Pynchons novels yet once. Quickly various
plot theories move expands into the center of the view - its
Verführungspotenzial in proved manner. Can actually be proved that Pynchon
studied as a younger man first of all at the Cornell University. Exactly
there where the CIAS of experiments with LSD carried out - to a certain
extent as a continuation of experiments, that had taken place in german
concentration warehouses with artificial drugs. Later the author worked for
Boeing, was involved even in the development of the Minuteman-rocket, that
stood yes under the predominance Wernher of brown, therefore on V1 and V2
been based. Hereafter of the thoroughly nearly lying Nazi-Nasa-alliance
further combinations arise. Done the CIAS once LSD aim has into the
Subkultur eingeschleust, around this to entpolitisieren? Was Flower Power a
Pentagon-draft? Must Timothy Leary be classified as its agent provocateur?
Is and what with Pynchon itself? Did he withdraw perhaps out of moral
purification from the public after he had for years with the system
kollaboriert? Or out of fear of agents? Is or yet only because it struck
with a bow-Bunny-dentures unacceptable for American ratios? Mr. Bröckers,
