authors influenced by Pynchon

[Richard Melo]

I'm an author, and I do consider myself influenced by Pynchon, William
Gaddis and countless others. My novel, Jokerman 8
(http://misconstrue.net) came out from Soft Skull Press in 2004, and
whether or not it's artistically successful, I don't know, but I can
say that it is artistically ambitious.

As a challenge to anyone who cares to take it up, in my book, there is
a paragraph pulled directly from a Pynchon novel and altered just
enough that even Pynchon wouldn't know he had written it.
