Let's stop the War on Pynchonmas! Put the Pynch in Pynchonmas.
Pynchon seems the reason for the season.

One of my tenth graders just made a terrific video of Pynchon's
"Entropy".

Do you pronounce his name "pinch" or "pink?"

One of my favorite paragraphs in "Against the Day" resides in the
middle of p. 771. It seems thematically related to the title, "Don't
Look Back," of the first chapter in "The Universe Next Door." That
title, of course, gets shared with a famous Dylan film by D.A.
Pennebaker though I have doubts Bob Wilson intended the Bob Dylan
association.

I pronounce it "pinch."

I have 102 pages left in Proust. I hope to finish this week. Then I
will return to Pynchon.

Reading Pynchon write about Venice has proved an interesting
counterpoint to reading Proust write about Venice.
