Pynchon/Vollmann

[pynchonoid]

It's been known since the 70s that Pynchon was writing
about the Mason & Dixon line, which as we know was
surveyed in pre-colonial America.  I suggest that
Pynchon may have been working in this area before
Vollman's novel appeared.  

I'm not saying Pynchon may not have been influenced by
Vollamn, by the way, and if you'd care to show some
textual examples that support such an argument, that
could be interesting.

Remains true that Pynchon addresses many of Vollman's
issues before Vollman publishes anything.
