[Henry Musikar]

"Curtis told an interesting story about his former roommate, who was writing
a book. One part of the novel was set in 19th century Cairo. The roommate
went out and got a history book and fact-checked all the street names, to
ensure they would have existed in the year the book was set. The roommate?
Thomas Pynchon. The book? V."
