Playboy Japan interview

[Ghetta Life]

Yeah, if it was really Pynchon, it makes him sound like (as MalignD said) an 
idiot.  But then again, Pynchon should probably never be allowed to give 
interviews.  His essays are nearly always awful (confused and confusing).  
It's probably no accident that his novels take a very long time to emerge.  
Extemporaneous just aint his thing.
