A remote possibility. 

Q: Why would the public  buy a book of badly written
stories with a bad Introduction if the author of both
was a bad writer? 

A: If the author was M&M or some other hot celeb. 

Q: Is Pynchon M&M? 

A: No

Q: Is Pynchon a hot celeb? 

A: No

Maybe, but I doubt it. He had to go back and read the
stories. He says he thought about editing them or
rewriting them. I think it's obvious from his comments
about them that he spent a considerable amount of time
on the Introduction. I agree with what you wrote
previously, that Pynchon writes op-eds&co. As op-eds
they still don't get in my paper. Not unless they are
submitted by a guy named Pynchon. 

What's goin on?, 
oh
 what's goin on? 

Let's all get some good love and pray for peace,
