Mason & Dixon auf Deutsch

[Dave Monroe]

Boy. I can relate to this ...

"Regarding astronomy and land surveying, I was amazed
how closely Pynchon adhered to the facts. In those
areas, good reference books were sufficient. But it
went even further. For a few things that I thought
must be fictitious, Pynchon wrote me back, no, they
would have really happened. Even for Americans, the
book offers very remote details that one would have to
look up to understand everything."

Thanks!  Forwarded this to both Pynchon fans and
translator friends ...
