Notes

[1] In his introduction to Slow Learner: Early Stories
(Little, Brown, 1984), p. 8.

[2] Most of this information is from Mathew Winston's
"The Quest for Pynchon," in Mindful Pleasures: Essays
on Thomas Pynchon, edited by George Levine and David
Leverenz (Little, Brown, 1976), pp. 251-263. Many more
odds and ends of Pynchon's biography have been
collected since Winston did his research. A recent
story in New York magazine, by Nancy Jo Sales, reports
that Pynchon has been living for the last six years in
Manhattan, with his wife and their son. The article is
accompanied by a photograph of Pynchon's back. ("Meet
Your Neighbor, Thomas Pynchon," November 11, 1996.)
Lineland, a compilation of on-line discussions about
Pynchon featuring the recollections of two old
friends, Jules Siegel and Christine Wexler, will be
published this summer by Intangible Assets
Manufacturing (www. iam.com/lineland/).
