Whether or not Pynchon specifically sought out the job
at Boeing, when he went to work there he was already
at work on the novel that came to be titled V.,
according to archives (at the Wayback Machine) of
Richard Lane's www.pynchonfiles.com -- a novel that
features Yoyodyne and the V-2. Perhaps it's just a
coincidence that Pynchon crossed the continental U.S.
to take the job which just happened to give him a
chance to be part of a support team for a missile not
altogether unlike what he was writing about in his
novel-in-progress. Then again, maybe he was able to
network to and land the Boeing job as part of his
ongoing research for V., research which seems to have
spilled over into GR.
