Readers can share Pynchon's long 'Day'

Despite the PR storm touched off by the ill-considered decision to publish 
the now-quashed "If I Did It," the fall season's major title, "Against the 
Day" by Thomas Pynchon, continues to draw the most attention of any recent 
book.

In true Pynchon fashion, his latest is a mammoth project -- 1,085 pages -- 
demanding time and considerable thought to assess it in a cogent, manageable 
review.

So, we're trying something unusual in covering "Against the Day" while our 
doughty critic treads his way to the finish line.

First, we're calling on Pynchon readers to offer their brief and, surely, 
incisive takes on his new novel. The critiques will be featured on the Books 
area of the Post-Gazette Web site as they come in.

Here are the guidelines: Give us your opinion, in 200 words or less, via 
e-mail to bhoover at post-gazette.com. And please include your home address and 
phone. The cutoff date is Dec. 18.
