Misc on Pynchon and his blurbs

a passing thought I used to have on many of the books Pynchon
blurbed was........how unlike his own writing many--most?--of them were.
(Saunders, few others are like).
from Warlock, thru the aforementioned Stone Junction, thru graphic novels,
TRP seemed to like and praise beyond his own ways of writing---or is he
so almost-uniquely himself that this is trivially true?
Except maybe visionarily?
Generosity of appreciation? I have always thought he also praised what he
wanted to learn from as a writer. (Compared to many blurbers who we see
are asked to blurb because the book is much like their own work, at
least superficially)
Discuss.
