authors influenced by Pynchon

[Ya Sam]

Last month, Flemish author Paul Verhaeghen was awarded the 2005 F. Bordewijk 
Prize for fiction, a prestigious Dutch award that was won by fellow WWB 
blogger Arnon Grunberg last year.

Verhaeghen won for OMEGA MINOR, a massive, all-encompassing epic about the 
consequences of World War II. The book has been compared to the works of 
Thomas Pynchon, David Foster Wallace, and Richard Powers. Great company to 
keep, and based on what I’ve read of the book, completely accurate.

Don't bother Googling P.V. for the English version quite yet. Dalkey’s going 
to be publishing this in 2007, in P.V.'s own translation. We discovered the 
book on an editorial trip to Amsterdam last fall and got the rights after a 
major American novelist enthusiastically recommended it.
