Bonesy Jones writes:

"Writes his first short story around this time: "it was set during WWII, in
the South Pacific, and centered on a theme of anti-idealism." Pynchon claims
that his writing at this time is of three periods: "romanticized
war-stories", "atheism/logical positivism that led to a rash of science
fictions", and "imitations of Thomas Wolfe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Lord
Byron."

but he gives no source for his quotes.
Can someone help me out?
