TP's blurb for Robbins

[matthew cissell]

    Speaking of blurbs, where did I read that there was some grumbling from
parts of the Pynchon fan base about the blurb for Robbins? Does that sound
familiar to anyone? I don't think I'm making that up. Pre-Plist days so no
archive to go by. Did it come up anywhere in print?

   As a side note, Robbins and Pynchon were both in Seattle (having gone
west to leave home behind) in the early 60's, both did military service in
the mid 50's military service, being members of the silent generation they
were more proto-hippies than hippies (to quote Robbins) and as such
eventually questioned and rebelled against their conservative upbringings.

I think it likely that they would have met at least once.

Hope you're all well
