„In der Einleitung zu seiner Kurzgeschichtensammlung Slow Learner  
erwähnt Pynchon den Surrealismus als eine maßgebliche Inspiration für  
seine Arbeit:

Another influence in ‘Under the Rose,’ too recent for me then to abuse  
to the extent I have done since, is Surrealism. I had been taking one  
of those elective courses in Modern Art, and it was the Surrealists  
who’d really caught my attention. Having as yet virtually no access to  
my dream life, I missed the main point of the movement, and became  
fascinated instead with the simple idea that one could combine inside  
the same frame elements not normally found together to produce  
illogical and startling effects. What I had to learn later on was the  
necessity of managing this procedure with some degree of care and  
skill… (Pynchon, Slow Learner, 1984: 20) “
