Editing Pynchon?

[Carvill, John]

Um... *I* should be real?!

Who said P was reluctant to cut ATD? Who asked him to cut it? How do you
know that parts could ebe taken out and not damage some essential
structure?

Oh, come on, there are plots that are dropped into AGTD and characters
too. They could be taken out and improve the work. P's reluctance to
cut the book is not a matter of its having some huge complex structure
and every part essential. He just doesn't give a shit about the
readers. He's working for TRP. Any person in the business knows this.
Be real.
