Pynchon is a realist after all

[Mark Kohut]

"He was a sewer-rat. His friends would lower him, with a metal-detector, into the main sewer beneath the hotels of Miami
Beach. There, he would prospect for jewelry flushed, accidently, down the toilets.
   'It is not, I can assure you, sir,'he said, 'an unrewardiung occupation.' "
                                                  Notebooks of Bruce Chatwin, 1980's
