Moody: A Hoax Called Wanda

[Otto]

"Ironically enough, Pynchon could stop publication of the book quite 
easily if he wanted to -- so I was informed by Ray Roberts, the 
novelist's friend and former editor. How? All Pynchon need do is declare 
that he did, in fact, write the letters. Then he could deny Anderson and 
Gardner permission to reprint them. It is, by any standard, a peculiar 
strategy -- particularly coming from Roberts, who emphatically denies 
that Pynchon wrote the letters. And it's just the sort of paradoxical 
twist that keeps the Pynchonians so enthralled."

Ever since Thomas Pynchon became the Great American Novelist, he has 
fled from his academic admirers. Have they finally caught up with him?
