Thomas Pynchon was never a subject of discussion in the "literarisches 
quartett", right? F. e. "Vineland" or "Mason & Dixon" which were published 
during the times the lq existed (since 1988). But it was the show of Marcel 
Reich-Ranicki - Germany's most popular jew, imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto, 
later member of the Polish secret service, later the most beloved and most 
hated critic/reviewer in W-Germany, sometimes a faultfinder and hack critic...
