Pynchon & Kubrick

[Dave Monroe]

To be honest, I gotta share MalignD et alia's
skepticism here.  DSOHILTSWALTB owes its primary
lit'rary debt to Peter George's Red Alert (US title,
Two Hours to Doom in the UK [1958])--Kubrick set out
to do a straight (i.e., dramatic) adaptation, but
...--and shares more with Burdick & Wheeler's Fail
Safe (1962) and its stragight-as-an-arrow
now-a-major-motion-picture adaptation (1964) than
anything ...

... to the point where apparently lawsuits ensued.  
This is a pretty cool site, by the way ...

And I could go on and on (and on ...) about 2001, but
... but if you happened to catch that John Waters show
at the New Museum for Contemporary Art in NYC this
past spring, you might have noticed a 1st ed. of V. in
the catalog of the director's (impressive, albeit
often predictable) collection ...

Which makes me wonder about certain goings on in, say,
Desperate Living (1977) ...
