A Book-a-Year Man

[Mark Kohut]

I like Nicholson and have his new book on order but he's just being
...funny.

The answer is NO. 

The answer is John Updike.

    . . .On the other hand, I sometimes imagine an alternative
    universe in which Thomas Pynchon has been a book-a-year
    man since 1963 and is about to publish his 46th Herbert Stencil
    adventure. Mightn’t we all, Pynchon included, be a lot happier
    with that prolific, mystique-free arrangement?
