No, Pynchon is, in a manner of speaking, a GOOD translator. Or better, 
an English-language innovator.i don't think he has necessarily here 
invented (named) the new color "silicon"  Not everything catches on. But 
if I ever hear again the phrase "silicon rain" or "silicon sky" or 
"silicon dawn" I will think "lustrous gray."
