Pynchon and Donadio

<<and it is suggested that Pynchon wanted a clean break from his former life after meeting his future wife--that implies alot--maybe I'm reading too much into this.>>

I think all writer/agent relationships are seeming love boats headed for some hidden shoal.  I would think that after he got involved with his agent's assistant, it was clearly time to move on.

And perhaps he's not a recluse, but marrying one's agent's assistant suggest a somewhat limited social circle.
