Our boy Pynchon

[Michael Bailey]

an idea meandered through my mind while I was
lounging on the sofa this afternoon:
suppose the incognito bit's an instance of the vice he chose to write
about - http://www.pynchon.pomona.edu/uncollected/sloth.html

it's a lot easier not to do all those interviews, et al...

of course, I'm totally with him on that.  I think most of the
problems in the world are from overachievers trying to leave a mark,
and the bizarre wastefulness of our government and large
corporations stems from the twisted thinking of people
who pride themselves on shorting Morpheus of his due
