"Thomas Pynchon simply chooses not to be a public figure, an attitude
that resonates on a frequency so out of phase with that of the
prevailing culture that if Pynchon and Paris Hilton were ever to meet
--- the circumstances, I admit, are beyond imagining --- the resulting
matter/antimatter explosion would vaporize everything from here to Tau
Ceti IV."
