New Cormac?

[Mark Sacha]

Have you seen the interview? I think he did great. In fact was so soft
spoken and earnest it made her look a bit of a fool. But he still seemed
uncomfortable - my point being that like our old pal Tommy P he seems to
prefer a private to a public life. If Pynchon made a public appearance on
Jimmy Kimmel, I think we'd be a little taken aback. Not disparaging. Deeply
respect the man.
