Brilliant! If asked to submit one and only one question what would
P-listers ask Mr. Pynchon. Remember, this interview will be conducted by
a Tralfamadorian, Mr. Pynchon will correspond via fax in English,  and
only the top ten questions will appear on the Dave Letterman show (or
whatever it's called, oh man I need to watch more TV). 

My question: Mr. Pynchon, if you were to be stranded on a deserted
island and could only take two playboy issues which ones would they be?
