So where in the world is Nina Hartley ...?

As long as we're talkin' porn (at last a subject on which I have some
expertise!), there's this:

It seems out of character for a guy so secular he named a character Profane
to be this disinterested in his niece's career. Taormino has appeared on
"Real Sex" as a sex educator, and comes across as intelligent, witty, sexy,
and very much in the same vein as our man P. Is P's reticence on this issue
a dislike of the material she produces (ie "sullying the family name")? I
think not, but it seems even a recluse like Pynchon would be willing to send
a public "attagirl" to Taormino if she's feeling this neglected by her
uncle.

Thoughts?
