Playboy Japan interview with TRP

[Richard Romeo]

For the hell of it, I contacted Playboy Japan to see if I could buy a copy 
of the Jan 2002 issue where the interview appeared.  As it turns out I 
couldn't but I did ask the nice people over there in the editorial dept if 
the interview took place in Japan.

This is their reply:

Dear Mr. Romeo,

I'm sorry we can't answer your question specificly.
All we can say is that it was arranged by his very very close person and we 
luckily and privately used his connection.
Thanks for your understanding in advance.

Best regards,

Editorial Department of PLAYBOY JAPANESE EDITION

One would guess that Pynchon was not in Japan. I read a recent article that 
noted that the Newsweek article in 1975 that said Pynchon was working on M&D 
and a book about Mothra, was in part a joke, seeing as he never intended to 
write a book about Mothra. That Pynchon, always playing with our heads.
