TPPM _The Gift_: Factoid on Pynchon's purpose of writing

[Glenn Scheper]

With 26 planned posts, and those last 7 may yet produce 49
if I should write faster than the read, let me post today
for Monday. Being an American holiday, I won't be at work.

Here is an instance of the online text _The Gift_.

I couldn't have made a luckier pick, only 325 words.
And there are only eight periods: eight sentences.

 Reprinted from Holiday, December 1965, this is a review of
 Oakley Hall's western, Warlock. (Pynchon was asked to select
 a favorite "neglected" book.)

Yours truly,
