better version of Playboy Japan interview with TRP

[Doug Millison]

Not the argument I made, or intended, of course, not even close.

Do you really feel that somebody is trying to keep you from reading Pynchon?
Reality check:  How could "they" manage to stop you?

When did Pynchon's "deliberate forty year silence" take place?  Before or
after he called CNN in 1997? (Oops, what about those essays, book
introductions, support quotes, letters to the editor, etc.)  Or would the
pivotal date be when David Hadju interviewed him for the Farina book?

Anyway, Happy New Year to you, too, "jbor" -- all the best.  I hope you get
everything you want in 2002, all the good stuff.

-Doug



"jbor"
I think the argument goes something like this, Otto: Now that Pynchon has
finally broken a deliberate forty year silence by speaking out - so
comprehensively and thoughtfully - in this, his first official press
interview, strategically vouchsafed to a journalist from that forefront
progressive, left-leaning, anti-corporate, anti-global capital, humanitarian
organisation, Hef's Playboycorp empire, anyone who ISN'T a card-carrying
George Bush Jnr-hater and anti-US propagandist should NOT, under ANY
circumstances, be permitted to discuss or even to read Pynchon's work.
