pynchon mention in Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan

[Markekohut]

McEwan's early work, 70's, is much closer to TRP's than later. In this country, some of it appeared in the lauded New American Review. 

I know of a lunch TRP was quietly at, w Faith Sale, that'd included an editor of that mag and another writer-editor ( of lit mag), Jerome Charyn.

Circumstantial evidence now suggests their friendship probably started around then, or earlier?

Maschler is pummeling a promising young writer with questions and asks, did he realize that the elusive Pynchon had sat in that same chair the day before . . .  Time is early seventies.
