AtD Dream

[pynchonoid]

No dreams yet, but I've been acting some out,
acquiring first editions of the previous novels.

I think Toby has been on the right track, with his
re-reading of Mason & Dixon, which I expect will
dovetail quite nicely with and prove to be excellent
preparation for Against the Day. 

Must be tight security on any review copies out there.
 

I wonder, would they really publish a big book like
this, in a crowded fall season, without the advantage
of reviews when the book reaches retail shelves? That
doesn't seem likely to me, but....
