Chabon mentions Pynchon

[alice wellintown]

- Michael Chabon's _Telegraph Avenue_

One suggestion that Tom Foster (_How to Read Novels Like a Professor_)
gives the common reader is to re-read and study the first chapter.
And, looking into a handful of the post-Pynchon novels, or whatever we
call the generation that Chabon, Moody, Franzen, Whitehead, Wallace,
T.C. Boyle (?), why all males?, but American authors born circa 1960,
we find that the influence of Pynchon and whatver influenced this
generation, and, of course Pynchon is but a bit part in the grand
universe of ideas...has imprinted a style, a how the story gets told.
