Odds of another Pynchon novel

I'd rather have no more Pynchon than disappointing or compromised Pynchon.

If we're going to have another work I think it'll be the same length as IV
or BE (if not shorter) - I think Pynchon knows time is passing and has
abandoned the epic multi narratives since ATD to focus on smaller, more
self contained works.
