That looks like the text of the Playboy Japan article,
perhaps the same quick-and-dirty translation provided
by a Japanese journalist friend.
It's important to remember, as the barking begins
again, that the editors of Playboy Japan have stood by
the article when questioned, that there is no
authoritative evidence to suggest that Pynchon or any
representative of Pynchon has denied the authenticity
of the article, and, most important, that none of the
article's critics on Pynchon-L have ever done any
independent research on this topic or offered any
independently-derived evidence to support their
denials.
Remember, too, the folks who just a few days ago were
absolutely positively couldn't be more certain that
Pynchon couldn't have never would have and most
definitely did not write the Book Description that
appears above his name at Amazon.com, especially
jbor's vehement claim that it was a hoax and the
result of a vindictive hacker out to defame Pynchon -
they were wrong about that, and it's quite likely that
they have been wrong in denying the existence of the
Playboy Japan article or denying that it is based on
an authentic interview with Thomas Pynchon. FWIW,
Pynchon Notes includes the Playboy Japan article in
its cumulative bibliography.
