Old acquaintances not forgot

[Robin Landseadel]

Mostly pop-music fawning from big-time party city Dubai, but the TRP  
citation is a kute korrespondence if ever:

	. . . Coincidence? When even the defiantly slothful novelist
	Thomas Pynchon announces his second book this decade
	(Inherent Vice, slated for an August 4 release), one has to
	wonder. It all calls to mind that bit in Bambi when a forest fire
	forces wave upon wave of slumberous woodland creatures to
	scramble for open country: an ungainly spectacle to be sure,
	and a pity it took such general conflagration to bring it about.
	But, at risk of garbling the metaphor, the pop zoologist in me is
	in clover. . .
