You're suggesting Pynchon wrote the Foreword to 1984
this month, as the books go out on retail shelves?

I've always wondered if P really did work inside some
sort of ripple in the space-time continuum.

"The property of time-modulation peculiar to Oneirine
was one of the first to be discovered by
investigators. 'It is experienced,' writes Shetzline
in his classic study, 'in a subjective sense . . . uh
. . . well. Put it this way. It's like stuffin wedges
of silver sponge, _right, into_ your _brain_!' So, out
in the mellow sea-return tonight, the two fatal
courses do intersect in space, but not in time. Not
nearly in time, heh heh." (_Gravity's Rainbow_, p.
389)
