Not quite.  I said, Pynchon is my favorite among living authors writing in
English.  To be precise (before Otto gets all hot and bothered about the
propriety of me misquoting my own posts I said, "In my
case, however, I would say he has no peer among living authors writing in
English.")

I'll fudge that a bit now, if you don't mind.  By "peer", I mean nobody who
can do what he does, no equal in his domain.
