Our own Bill Pearlman wrote a profile of Thomas Pynchon that appeared in the London Review of Books. Here's an excerpt.
Looking back on it, I think Pynchon saw his life as mainly being concerned with writing, and experimenting with ideas in writing that nobody had tried before. I remember one day he showed me a drawerful of gun manuals. He liked to think of weapons as ambivalent sexual components of the underworld he was trying to make sense of.

I thought I saw the London review Bill Pearlman's Profile of Thomas Pynchon. Only 4 days ago. I'm crying for the death of my sister only 6 years ago.
Did you get the Matisse from Lucy via the Baltimore Art Museum.
