The Unified Field Theory of Late Pynchon, first draft

[Page]

Who among us would not want to see another massive tome from The Master? I 
am not, yet, ready to abandon hope (Dante may apply). Remember: at one point 
he told his agent that he was working on four novels at one go. Older though 
he may be, I find it hard to believe he has lost interest, or said all he 
has to say. More than one satisfying monster may be in our futures.
