What if P. was Ghost-Written?

[Lemuel Underwing]

Let us suppose in good humor that a new book by Pynchon is published in
April 2013, it's perhaps a Step Down from I.V., another detective novel,
set in California, etc.
Now let us suppose Christmastime brings a Travels of Reverend Cherrycoke,
an appalling piece of rubbish imitating P. but pleasing in all the
guiltiest ways, the story, poorly written as it is,
has some of the same Imaginative spark in which Pynchon's work is so deeply
immersed.
How would you feel?
What would your reactions be?
Would you Ghost-Write Pynchon, if he were Cool with the Idea?
