The Pynchon I Knew.
by Bill Pearlman on Jan 7th, 2010.

Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles County is part of the so-called South
Bay, south of Santa Monica. It was mostly populated by middle-class
white people when I grew up there in the 1950s, and was a good place
in many ways. I played volleyball on the beach, and once a year we had
surfing, paddleboard and volleyball championships next to the
Manhattan Pier. I graduated from the local high school, Mira Costa, in
1961.

In the first months of the summer of 1970, I was on the Oregon Coast
with some friends. We rented a house and dug a garden, fished for
trout and crabbed at the nearby dock in Waldport. My friend Charlie
Vermont, a poet, introduced me to David Shetzline and his wife, M.F.
Beal, both writers, who lived up the road from us in a place called
Beavercreek. We got into some swinging scenes, did some major acid,
talked about the world.

Is this guy genuine?
