Not BtZ42 but Pynchon's continuing influence on writers

[Mark Kohut]

In case you wanted to know whether John Wray has
been influenced and pays homage to Thomas Pynchon
in THE LOST TIME ACCIDENTS tell them the evidence is
now convincing.

There is a scene in which the protagonist has to crawl through a large
rooms-sized tunnel, papered with newspapers and with a *bathroom, *
into some ARCHIVES. ...on his way to that bathroom he sees "a postcard
of an 18th century Haarlem farmhouse, a broken African mask which led to
an aluminum baseball bat, which led to a hardcover copy of *The
Autobiography of*
*Malcolm X." .......*


A...and the phrase "Everything Connects" appears in Pynchon-loving Ian
Rankin's
latest, EVEN DOGS IN THE WILD, as the circle of criminal involvement from
surprising
unpredictable hidden characters is tied up.


And here's our occasional Plister and constant translator, Max Nemtsov. On
a new book I've  started:

фигассе. что, правда? "I thought I might describe it as “Stone Junction”
rewritten by David Foster Wallace or Thomas Pynchon with a big twist of
William Gibson, Susanna Clarke and Italo Calvino." кто читал? не забудьте
