Anybody seen the text of Pynchon's narration of the book trailer video
that's linked at the Amazon.com book page? It would be interesting to
read as part of an IV discussion, the way he discusses the story in
the voice of Doc Sportello. He may even introduce some bits about
Sportello that aren't exactly in IV, I'd have to listen to it again
and compare to the IV text.
Very interesting to have what amounts to an introduction to the novel,
in Pynchon's own voice, don't you think? I didn't think he would take
part in the marketing of a book to this degree, but I'm glad he has
done it this time.
