Hope I don't sound like I'm nitpicking here, but the article actually uses 
the, to my ear at least, less loaded and more playful phrase "Thomas Pynchon 
has broken cover...."

The generally interesting article ends with the somewhat dispiriting quote 
below.

Steve Maas

"A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying," [Orwell] once 
wrote, "since any life when viewed from inside is simply a series of 
defeats."
