Thomas Pynchon News

Mark Z. Danielewski, Autor von House of Leaves und Only Revolutions, antwortet auf die Frage, wessen Werk ihn herausfordere:

Faust – such a compelling, relationship with the devil and power and old age. Salman Rushdie, David Foster Wallace, Pynchon, Vonnegut, Heller, Morrison, Atwood to a certain extent, Kathy Acker, Ursula Le Guin. My background is classical so I will re-read Homer, Shakespeare, Milton, Tolstoy, Elliot, Pound, Wolf, Hemingway, Faulkner.
