Chabon mentions Pynchon

[rich]

Chabon is that class of today's writer who doesnt upset goes down well
and hardly remains in the mind after the last page is done. (like
those you list below)
he's competent and a heck've a nice guy and I did like some of his
Lovecraftian short stories and Wonder Boys but he's all too much zoned
in that New Yorker type fiction circle
