How do you regard Pynchon as important? Obviously he's a conspiracy theorist...

RAW: We have a lot in common. It's one of those things, like Darwin
and Wallace, when the time is right a couple of people are going to be
saying pretty much the same thing. There are enough differences
between Pynchon and me that I think I'm a little more than just an
echo of Pynchon. At least I like to believe that. Shea and I were
finished with Illuminatus! when we read Gravity's Rainbow and then on
the rewrite we deliberately threw in a couple of references to it, but
we had worked out the structure on our own, mostly on the basis of the
nut mail that Playboy gets.
