I'm curious about the first few paragraphs.

Phantom of the pixels

The poet Thomas Pynchon hides itself from the media
and the public. It becomes the film hero now
nevertheless

By Peter Koerte 

Goettingen is a place, at which Phantome feel at home.
One can introduce oneself, as in grey November a man
goes from beginning of sixty unconsidered through the
small desert city, by the large pedestrian precinct,
as he touches over the campus and looks for figures of
its new novel; as it searches for Professorenportraets
on old postcards, which one sold to at the beginning
of the century in the city. Certainly it also
haven-guessed/advised from David a Hilbert, which held
1900 Paris congress a lecture on 23 problems of
mathematics, which are not solved partially until
today, which dug up its flower patches gave, in order
to then decrease/go back again to its schiefertafel in
the garden and write formulas down. It seems directly
from the novel too
come themselves, in love with its young Russian
student with a fellow student. And perhaps that was
real phantom from New York in Goettingen, in order to
explore, as it could have looked there.

does Mr. Koerte know about what Mr. P is up to in
researching a new book or is he speculating based upon
the little we know about the Hilbert rumors.
Obviously, there's no way to know based upon the
translation.

Indeed, a poster to Tim Ware's Pynchon web site noted
that the book is nearly complete and would be ready
within 1-2 yrs (posted last year)

fwiw...
