TRP's (Editorial) Description - back up on Amazon

This from Publishers Lunch a few minutes ago:

Vrai Pynchon
The description of Thomas Pynchon's forthcoming novel AGAINST THE DAY referred to in Slate yesterday, pulled down from Amazon's official product page but preserved by a site visitor on Amazon's discussion board, is indeed by the author, confirmed by Tracy Locke at Penguin Press.

Locke adds that the Slate piece incorrectly claimed she "disavowed all knowledge" of the post. "I explained to Troy Patterson that I was unaware that any sort of book description had been posted on Amazon and that I'd not seen it -- and therefore could not comment on its accuracy."

Amazon's Sean Sundwall tells the AP it was Penguin that asked for the posting to be withdrawn, "due to a late change in scheduling on their part."
