Fwd: letter re Sunday's party

[Mark Kohut]

To All:
   
  I wrote the letter to Freebird Books quoted in Galley Cat and sent around by Dave
  Monroe. 
   
  "Unnamed", Mr. Hogan writes, but I signed it and sent it via email that bears my name. About as close to face-to-face as I could get, especially since I am in Tennessee at the moment (and not a coupla-three trains from the bookstore.)
   
  I felt that I should write. Reading Pynchon has to matter in one's perceptions and responses
  to things in life, I say, or else he is little better than complex crosswords---challenging and fun, but NOT ABOUT THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. I won't accept that. "The world is all that is
  the case" ---and it matters what we say and do.
   
  They, of course, also did not have the right to quote from that letter without my permission.
  One owns one's words in letters---see Salinger vs. Hamilton.
   
  Mark
