Well, those are two different stories... Dick was not such a prestigious 
writer (no wonder that one of his novel's called Confessions of a Crap 
Artist), and he needed that act of canonization (which was 
masterminded, they say, by his literary heir Mr J. Lethem). Does 
Pynchon really need the LoA to boost his reputation?
