Go back and re-read the bit of my post that you
quoted, numbnuts.  The information I shared with the
p-list last year concerns the date of publication of
Pynchon's next novel, not its content. (The post you
snipped it from does not address the content either,
only the rumored date of publication.)

Source for that?  Sure the "recluse" word didn't get
attached to Pynchon in the '70s?  (I'm not 100 percent
sure of this, but I'll bet my next paycheck that you
don't have anything like a clue.)

Given your proven inability to read your own posts
(and I'm still chuckling over the fact that you
couldn't list 10 novels that you had read when we went
through that list-building exercise awhile back -
surely you've got an underlined copy of _Farmyard
Fun_,  _Black Leather Daddy_ or _Housewives in Chains_
you could add to the Pynchon novels you've thumbed,
add in the copy of The Recognitions you claim to be
reading, plus that copy of _My Pet Goat_ you re-read
obsessively, and get up to 10),  please forgive me if
I remain a skeptic regarding the power of your vision.

But, please don't let that stop you from sharing your
functionally illiterate idiocy with the p-list.  It's
such a welcome relief from jbor's equally error-ridden
but way more boring missives; although I must admit,
the aftertaste that results from jbor's unique blend
of  pretentious preaching and simplistic sententiae
seasoned with the howling mistakes that so often
pepper his posts, is sometimes especially sublime.
