MDMD John 1:49 (278.25)

[Doug Millison]

Some of you may recall the interview with the French translators of M&D
that I pointed to (it was published online by the daily paper, Liberation)
and excerpted, they reported a lot of fax interaction with Pynchon and that
P took a hands-on approach to collaborating with them on the translation.

I don't have the French version of M&D, but it might be interesting to see
if it persists in the John 1:49 citation -- if so, given Pynchon's
involvement with the translation, that *might* support the argument that
the 1:49 is intentional and not a typographical error.  Anybody out there
have the French translation?
