uthors influenced by Pynchon

[James Kyllo]

Habitus is certainly influenced, but not entirely successful.  Pelevin
less influenced and more successful imo.

Chris Bachelder's two novels are both.  John Calvin Batchelor's first
two novels were heavily influenced and are readable (although perhaps
"art" would be going too far).

Lawrence Norfolk as frequently mentioned here recently (although not
"In the Shape of a Boar")
