Zapraszam do przeczytania ciekawego wywiadu z Davidem Kipenem, który opowiada o swojej fascynacji Thomasem Pynchonem.

Poniżej zajawka wywiadu:

David Kipen, the National Endowment for the Arts’ literature director, National Reading Initiatives, loves many many authors and the great kaleidoscope of books they’ve written. But mention “Gravity’s Rainbow,” “The Crying of Lot 49,” “Vineland,” Mason & Dixon,” “Against the Day,” “Slow Learner” or “V,” or breathe the name of the author of those works, the reclusive, National Book Award-winning Thomas Pynchon, and Kipen’s enthusiasm is boundless. He shared some of it with Jacket Copy’s Carolyn Kellogg.

JC: Would you describe yourself as a Pynchon fan?

DK: Yes, though I like Pynchomane too. I think we do literature a disservice when we separate admiration too carefully from fandom. Pynchon’s my touchstone. I’m his fan like I’m a Dodger fan: I root for him, find him endlessly fascinating and feel a purely unearned pride that he has the best record in the league. I’d say I follow Pynchon, but that might make him nervous.
