there are two ways of pronouncing the name pynchon: one goes "pinnsch*n" with
emphasis on the first syllable and a silent vocal in the second; the other puts
the stress on both syllables and sings the "o" longer which makes the name's
second part sound like the german word "schon" (= already). my question: does
anybody know how the pynchons themselves do pronounce their own family name?
thanks in anticipation! kai frederik
