Yeah,  it's huge even by Pynchon standards. Watch out for a 2000 page  German
translation! And if it is  (I think it is) one of the  four 'millennium' 
books he had in his mind way back in the 1960s, he  might as well have been
working on it intermittently since the  publication of GR. I don't want to
consider 'Vineland' as one of these,  so maybe there will be more surprises 
in the future. Thomas Mann is a  good precedent here, as he finished his
mammoth 'Joseph and his Brothers'  at a very respectable age.

I'd hazard a guess that it's not; its relatively small size alone, I'd  
think, would kind of disqualify it (?)...
