Puck och Einar - P reading Dagmar Lange?

[Kunal Shah]

So my sister has been reading Inherent Vice, and she pointed this out to me
the other day.

We'd been watching a Swedish mystery show called Crimes of Passion,
broadcast here earlier this year on MHz Networks, based on books by Dagmar
Lange. Two of the main characters are Puck and Einar, who are married to
each other. You may remember (I didn't) a Puck and Einar in IV, who are
roommates/lovers, although Puck is male in IV.

I checked the wiki but could not find any mention of this connection, and
it seems only a few of Lange's books have been translated into English.
Would the names alone be evidence enough to say Pynchon has been reading
Lange?
