Hilbert Novel

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

Hello,

the eminent Bonnian, Thomas Eckhardt, told us nearly 4 years ago that

"Michael Naumann said [on the German radio] that Pynchon had told him
that a new novel was in the works. In its center (if that is the term
to use here) is supposed to stand a young female Russian mathematician,
who at the beginning of the century belonged to the circle around
David Hilbert, the famous mathematician then teaching in Goettingen.
She then falls in love with a colleague..."
