I expect that netiquette prohibits mentioning any of
those elephants in this living room, nor what they've
left on the floor, nor pointing out the actual fact of
the elephants' new clothes.

I expect he has a lot of fun writing these little
essays.  I'm picturing a version of cat's cradle,
where his fiction forms a dactylic structure on which
to hang the threads that Pynchon weaves through the
Intros and Forewords and book reviews and cover blurbs
& etc.
