Pynchon, the normal guy

[Mark Kohut]

I am conversationally friendly with a NYC writer online named
Margo Howard. She wrote something about not showing up for the
Nobel Prize and I did my bit---that is what the Swedish Academy most fears
as I've said here and why no Pynchon win, etc.

She then riffed on TRP's reclusiveness, asking me about it, etc, esp with
his wife, his agent, etc.
Then she said that a young man who was her assistant on a recent book did
get to meet Mr. Pynchon. Pronounced him "normal" to her.

That's all I got, folks. And it ain't much, I know.
