Another Fanboy

[Robin Landseadel]

How Thomas Pynchon made a fan of David Kipen

	JC: Would you describe yourself as a Pynchon fan?

	DK: Yes, though I like Pynchomane too. I think we do literature
	a disservice when we separate admiration too carefully from
	fandom. Pynchon's my touchstone. I'm his fan like I'm a Dodger
	fan: I root for him, find him endlessly fascinating and feel a
	purely unearned pride that he has the best record in the league.
	I'd say I follow Pynchon, but that might make him nervous.
