of why Pynchon does not allow himself to be interviewed.


My speculation would be something like the following: Pynchon, for
occupational reasons related to a felt need to protect his distinctive
fictional voice or voices, at some point resolved NOT to develop for himself
a nonfiction personna suitable for display in the journalistic media but now
and then he forgets however.
