New in Orbit

Abstract

The June 1888 issue of the Phonographic World magazine presented John 
Pynchon, an ancestor of Thomas, as “The First American Shorthand 
Reporter”. While most biographical criticism to date of Thomas Pynchon 
has focused on the cameo appearance of a thinly veiled William Pynchon 
in Gravity’s Rainbow, we here set out further historical information on 
John alongside an appraisal of shorthand in the novels of Thomas.
