poss. of a new P book

[Dave Monroe]

Michael Naumann said that Pynchon had told him that a
new novel was in the works. In its center (if that is
the term to use here) is supposed to stand a young
female Russian mathematician, who at the beginning of
the century belonged to the circle around David

Die Zeit BB et ancien collaborateur de l'=Editeur de

And recall from GR ...

Hilbert-Spaess, Sammy
217; double agent with "scombroid face [...] quick as
a fire-control dish antenna and even less mercy"; at
Double Agent Convention, with "pouched and Levantine
eyes" 540; [Hilbert Space: "A multidimensional space
in which the proper (eigen) functions of wave
mechanics are represented by orthogonal unit vectors"
- from The Penguin Dictionary of Physics]
