Did anybody notice that...

[David Kipen]

...somewhere between the Amazon blurb and the Penguin blurb, "postwar Paris"
has become simply "Paris" -- full stop, period, *pernod?* As somebody who
just bought a copy of Margaret MacMillan's "Paris 1919: Six Months that
Changed the World," I'm wondering whether the earlier blurb was incorrect
or, as I'd understandably prefer to think, just incomplete. As in, "Query:
Mr. Pynchon, I know I'm just a lowly catalog copy editor, but since the
book contains not only the Paris 1919 episode but also the Henry Adams and
David Hilbert episodes in 1900, could we lose the 'postwar' and just make it
'Paris'?

What think you all?

All finest,
David Kipen
