Did Thomas Pynchon publish a novel under the pseudonymAdrianJones Pearson?

[Erik Burns]

It's the fact that this publicity machine is hooking itself to TRP's star that makes this whole kerfuffle marketing. Read a few pages, it's not even mock-Pynchon. Imitation in this case in not flattery, but marketing. It has certainly been effective so far: Many more people know this author's name now after huge exposure in harpers, the nyt, twitter &c

The book is over 500 pages and he tried to get it published in the normal ways. The book certainly doesn't seem like " a vehicle for marketing" just because he wants to keep himself unknown. If it is as he says, he ALWAYS or regularly publishes pseudonymously.
Pynchon never published pseudonymously.

Is imitation the highest form of flattery, still?
