List of biographical articles on Pynchon

[Bob Mccart]

Muchas gracias, Kai.

Do you happen to know if the booklet Lineland is available as text or .pdf
online? I haven't been able to track it down, and don't have a good
shipping address right now.

The video 'documentary' on Pynchon featured a pretty crazy looking Siegal,
explaining the idea that GR was the 'wish to confess,' or something, of
Pynchon's involvement in spreading LSD to the young.

That's interesting that Pynchon's wife denied the playboy interview. But I
mean despite all the jokes Playboy is not exactly a rag, and I figure they
could risk some big money if they print a completely fabricated interview
with a public figure--even if it was in Japan.
