TRP and Godzilla, misc.

[Natália Maranca]

"Everybody gets told to write about what they know. The trouble with many of
us is that at the earlier stages of life we think we know everything - or to
put it more usefully, we are often unaware of the scope and structure of our
ignorance." (*Slow Learner*, page 15)

Which leads me to think - even though it isn't implied - that writing about
things he is not experienced in concerns the older Pynchon. Maybe, in the
same line of thought, he abandoned the Godzilla idea because he feels
distant from the Eastern culture.
About Pandemonium of the Sun, well, it could have been a title meant for
M&D, but I rather think like Page and not loose my hope that a new book will
be published.
