"Thanks for your letter of the 30th September with its news—news to
me—that Graa Boomsma not only visited us on Long Isld but that he met
Thomas Pynchon here! He had written me of his trip to the US hoping we
might meet, but there was some confusion & it never came about, surely
not out here, most surely not Pynchon (whom I’ve never met, despite
the many critical claims to similarity in our work: I see us both
classed paranoid & conspiratorial but who, aside from James Michner,
is not?). And so I would very much appreciate it when you’ve got the
time if you might send me a copy of his piece with a translation. Most
curious."
