Nobel favourite

[Paul Taylor]

from http://www.turkishpress.com/news.asp?id=29389:

<<Thente [Swedish lit. crit.] said he would like to see "the great
American postmodernist authors Don DeLillo or Thomas Pynchon" take
home the prestigious award, but Weyler [Swed. chief. ed.] said he
didn't think they had a chance.
"They are great epic writers, but they are considered very mainstream.
They're not very experimental, pushing the boundaries of literature,"
he said. >>

Pynchon in the 'mainstream'.  Ouch.
