AtD teasers and a spoiler

[Mike Beiderbecke]

Well,

      I have in my posession a galley. Granted it was from a friend, so it
isn't my name writtenon the title page with a sharpie, but....
    Subtle, very subtle, is the cover. The half-title, is even better. The
title page is a work of art. The blurb on the back is the thing from Amazon,
with the only difference being instead of  "Meanwhile, the author is up to
his usual tricks", it is "Meanwhile, Thomas Pynchon is up to his usual
tricks."
    And a very disingenuous about the author. "Thomas Pynchon is the author
of 'V.', 'The Crying of Lot 49', 'Gravity's Rainbow', 'Slow Learner', a
collection of stories, 'Vineland', and, most recently, 'Mason and Dixon'. He
received the National Book Award for 'Gravity's Rainbow' in 1974."
    I will also say that the hyperlinks will be rife when the group read
begins. Oh, man, will they be rife.
    Following are a few. Along with the epigraph for Part One, 'The Light
Over the Ranges."
    So quit reading now, if you don't want to know.

Regards,

Mike

And so it goes, I didn't even phase the obsessiveness of what will happen.


Now here is the epigraph. Stop reading here if you don't want to know.
