ATD: ad: Pynchon excerpt from new novel

[Tim Strzechowski]

I agree, and I'm sure there's a nickname in the publishing industry for the 
type of author like Pynchon whose books sell steadily over the years, albeit 
slowly (like DeLillo whose works are often taught in hs/college courses) 
rather than those who sell a ton right upon publication, only to peter out 
in sales over the long term (Franzen, anyone?).



> I'm guessing not too spectacular? But one thing I notice is that
> Pynchon's books show up a *lot* less than average in second hand
> bookshops. I suppose people who buy Pynchon books don't often sell
> them.....
