Curiosity

"Pynchon is the kind of author who inspires rabid fandom, sort of like a Patti Smith."

By Erin Schmiel

Thomas Pynchon, that famous reclusive writer who writes 1,000+ page novels you either hate to read or love to read...but you still read them. On the website, Literary Kicks, Lauren Agnelli back in 2001, writes a thoughtful and thorough profile of Pynchon, even giving short synopsis-type reviews of some his large (and short) tomes.

I found this interesting as I am now reading his most recent book, Against the Day, and now really want to read Mason Dixon and to reread Gravity's Rainbow.
