Editing Pynchon?

[Chris Broderick]

Nushra sez:

So when they published AGTD they thought they had a best seller? That's silly.

So I say:

Not really, as far as literary fiction goes.  Pynchon's books sell quite well, and the publication of a new one is a big event in publishing circles.  They may not sell at Da Vinci Code levels (or for that matter, self-help crap like the Secret, which leaves most fiction in the dust, sales wise), but as far as the publishing industry is concerned, Agin'TD was a bestseller.  As was expected.
