Help wanted

I've been stumped--brain dysfunction or something--by a request
for help that runs as follows:

"on the first page of Eleanor Cook's _Enigmas  and  Riddles in
Literature_, she writes: 'Literary studies of the riddle  are 
few and far between.  There are studies of the remarkable Old
English  riddles.   There are studies of riddles in specific
authors: Virgil, Dante,   Shakespeare, Donne, Joyce,
Pynchon...'  Apparently there is at least one  study of 
Pynchon's use of the riddle out there.  Do you know of it?"

Of course I should, but nothing comes immediately to mind, and
a first, superficial search of my bibliography didn't turn up 
anything obvious. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
