Request for Reviews

(Putting on my Editor cap....)

I was wondering if anyone on the Pynchon List would welcome the 
chance to write a few book reviews for the site I edit, The Modern 
Word.

http://www.TheModernWord.com

I am putting together the next few "Spiral-Bound" newsletters, and 
there are a few books I would love to feature -- Salman Rushdie's 
"Fury," Mario Vargas Llosa's "The Feast of the Goat," John Barth's 
"Coming Soon!!!", Eco's "Five Moral Pieces," and DeLillo's "Pafko at 
the Wall" are especially up for grabs. I ask that any review be 
basically an informed and critically intelligent work, but I welcome 
any personal style or insights you'd have to bring. (It should be 
about the length and depth of the average newspaper review.)

Although I cannot offer any compensation, your review would go out to 
thousands of subscribers and be featured on the main page of the 
site, which gets 110,000 visitors each month. I will also gladly 
include your email address and any links to a Web site you might wish 
to highlight.

If anyone is interested, please feel free to visit the "submissions" 
area for details, and please write me off-list.

Thanks!

If I have said anything to the contrary I was mistaken.
If I say anything to the contrary again I shall be mistaken again.
Unless I am mistaken now. Into the dossier with it in any case,
in support of whatever thesis you fancy.
