Thomas Pynchon (American, b. 1937)
With V., Gravity’s Rainbow and even Vineland, Pynchon’s novels are among the 
most brilliant we’re likely to see in a long time. You should read them all. 
Before you finish, you’ll be making plans to start at the beginning again. 
There’s no better way to improve your vocabulary than by sitting down for a 
few days with a copy of Mason & Dixon, an unabridged dictionary and plenty 
of coffee. Pynchon’s agent should fax the "Byron the Bulb" excursus from 
Gravity’s Rainbow to Stockholm immediately. That passage alone qualifies him 
for the award.
