Tss, don't you know the NSA is reading this? But jokes aside: Of course both, Pynchon and Roth,would deserve the Nobel Prize. If they manage to stay alive for some more years they will perhaps finally get it. And then the honour has lost lots of its significancy in recent years anyway. So don't be too disappointed, when Pynchon will not become a Nobel Prize winner!He then would share the fate of many brilliant writers, among them Harold Brodkey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U154pxY4jxI On a certain Nobel Prize winner much debated here these days I will not utter a single word. You know, I don't want to throw a monkey wrench in the works or something ... Myself I'mreading Christian Kracht's new novel "Ich werde hier sein im Sonnenschein und im Schatten"which has lots of Pynchonesque resonances and is written in an extremly beautiful language. kfl
