Pynchon blurbs, wittily, Einstein on The Middle East.

[Mark Kohut]

It occurred slowly to me that maybe the reason for Pynchon's blurb is
that it is a book he liked agented by his wife?   

I am trying to find that out. Seems she has handled Feynmann's estate
and other scientist's work.

Einstein was offered the Presidency of Israel?  And declined? (I learn
from the review)

that would have been an interesting ride!

Maybe the reason for the blurb was a simpatico feeling for somebody
else who chose not to become more of a public figure than he already
was?
