The Unified Field Theory of Late Pynchon, first draft

[Carvill, John]

Heh. What I think, or rather, what is hope is: this can't be Pynchon's
last book. Now, that ATD, it did feel like it could be his last book,
and it even felt like Pynchon felt like it was his last book, 'specially
at the end, with all that 'full fuckin circle' stuff [props to Tore Rye
Andersen for first pointing out the appropriateness of that phrase]. So
although we'd have been sad if we got no more Pynchon novels, it
wouldn't've been any big surprise if ATD was his last triumphant trumpet
blast. But IV, well, I love it, but it feels as David says, like a
palate cleanser. So here's to greed, greed is good. Ruggles! Bring on
the main course, we're ready for the surprise roast....
