Could this wealthy dentist who makes a fortune selling coke and dodging the
IRS have anything to do with the dentist character that Pynchon used in the
Golden Fang story? Wasn't Rudy sort of a Barry Goldwater-loving sort of
fellow if I remember correctly? This crime story is about selling coke, not
smack, but.. still. Maybe Pynchon knew of crime story or maybe it's just a
coincidence...
Publisher Marketing:
Doctor Dealer is the story of Larry Lavin, a bright, charismatic young man
who rose from his working-class upbringing to win a scholarship to a
prestigious boarding school, earn Ivy League college and dental degrees,
and buy his family a house in one of Philadelphia's most exclusive suburbs.
But behind the facade of his success was a dark secret -- at every step of
the way he was building the foundation for a cocaine empire that would grow
to generate $60 million in annual sales.
