 “The relation between Gaddis and Pynchon seems so close that once it
was even rumored that Thomas Pynchon was merely a pseudonym for
Gaddis!”

         --from Steven Moore’s “‘Parallel, Not Series’: Thomas Pynchon
and William Gaddis.” **Pynchon Notes** 11, pp. 6-26.

Entering "Pynchon" on the Gaddis site search engine reveals 26
entries, many of which are references to a Gaddis-Pynchon connection.

What better way for Pynchon readers to weigh in on the issue than to
read and discuss TR together?

(On a minor note, while Gaddis may not have read Pynchon, he does cite
Gravity's Rainbow and the Prof. Corey acceptance speech in Agape
Agape.)
