If you could convene a dream panel of famous Pynchomanes...

[David Kipen]

...to talk about the work in general and/or *Against the Day* in particular,
who would be on it? I just suggested such an evening to the programmer of a
public lecture series on the West Coast, and got a tentative offer to
moderate the thing some night next spring. So, if you were putting together
a TRP tribute album, who would you call? Some modicum of fame might help,
since they *are* hoping to sell a ducat or two. Much though I'd walk 10
miles barefoot on a freezing morning just to stand in John Krafft's shit (to
paraphrase Richard Brautigan), the general public may feel differently.) So
who's on your all-star team?

David Foster Wallace?
Mark Danielewski?
Richard Branson?
Matt Groening?
John Larroquette?
T.C. Boyle?
Colson Whitehead?
Julian Barnes?
Rick Moody?
Emily Barton?
Edward Mendelson?

 Or do we want a panel composed exclusively of Pynchon blurbees down the
years, from Tom Robbins to Matt Ruff and beyond? By all means, go to town on
this one. You are, as much as anybody, the target audience...

All finest,
David
