Farina Novel

[Steve Maas]

As I posted here in Nov. '02, I was struck by the following.
Steve Maas

Thomas Pynchon, excerpts from Introduction to BDSLILLUTM:
"When I first read the book, I was comparing it with my own experience of
the same place, time, and people. [...] It was also great fun recognizing
the real-life counterparts of the other characters, being tickled by what
he'd done with and to them. [...] There isn't much point Naming Names
here--they know who they all are and they walk among us even today."

Richard Farina, from BDSLILLUTM:
"Heffalump's mouth still hanging open between giggles, huge teeth jutting
forward like a beaver's."

>in Farina's novel, ...Looks up to Me, are any of the
>characters based on Pynchon when he was at Cornell?
