Just an idea

[jd]

oh man, having dreams about it, that's rich...  ho ho ho (didn't catch
the pun til I wrote it in my defense!)

In truth, in his old age Pynchon has become bitter towards his fame
and his fanatical fans.  The book, indeed, was composed in two days,
written on a single roll of Scott Tissue toilet paper (they're big
rolls) and is a run of the mill pulp story revolving primarily around
the police chief of Chicago and serial killer, below even the level of
The Da Vinci Code, as a final "fuck you" to those people who just
wouldn't stop trying to hide in his bushes, but we'll all eat it up
anyways and find the Final Great Meaning of Life within it's pages
(specifically the scene involving the prostitute, a half-empty pack of
cigarettes, and a slab of pork steak).  Pynchon goes insane and
attempts to burn down the Guggenheim.

Back in reality, seriously, I can't wait, but I would really laugh my
ass off if he did indeed choose to write a light fluffy story instead
of the literary juggernaut we're all expecting.
