Pytnchon mention

[Hal Lewis]

An interesting note in this weeks  TLS ( Apr 15) about Thomas Pynchon.  In a review of the bio  of  
Tom Maschler "Publisher" reviewed by  Richard Davenport Hines is the following graph:

"One high point in Maschler's account of his delightful unhealed meetings with Thomas Pynchon when the novelist was in London researching "Mason & Dixon. Pynchon's visit ended abruptly when Random House in New York sent him the proofs of Larry Kramer's novel "Faggots," soliciting a plaudit for the dust jacket, only for the parcel to be intercepted and seized by the Metropolitan Police, who decided that it was obscene." 

Maschler was chairman of Cape Jonathan Cape from 1970-1991
