""Is this person a Thomas Pynchon or Toni Morrison or Philip Roth?
That's the wrong question," Nelson says. "But I'm quite open to a lot
of different kinds of writing, including a lot of genre fiction, which
can be brilliantly written and often is. But Dan Brown is a mediocre
practitioner of his genre -- not the worst, but certainly not the
best.""

just a funny and pointless Pynchon reference in an article bashing a bad book.
