2009 Pynchon novel confirmed

Monday, October 13, 2008
Looks like it was more than just a rumour! The LA Times are now reporting on the rumours previously brought up here and on the Gaddis/P-List. Fall 2009 brings detective psychadelica to Pynchon.

Ladbrokes' odds for Nobel Prize for Literature 2008

Monday, October 06, 2008
As of now, Ladbrokes are giving the following odds for various figures on the Nobel Prize for Literature 2008. I've omitted the vast majority and skipped to those of "interest".

Philip Roth - 5/1
Don DeLillo - 7/1
Thomas Pynchon - 14/1
Umberto Eco - 40/1

Will Professor Irwin Corey get to make another appearance?

Musil on Economic Stability

Friday, October 03, 2008
"But while man has in money, as Arnheim saw it, the surest control of society, a means as tough and precise as the guillotine, it can also be as vulnerable as an arthritic - how painfully the money market limps and aches all over at the slightest draft! - and is most delicately involved with everything it controls."

Robert Musil, The Man Without Qualities, trans. by Sophie Wilkins and Burton Pike (London: Picador, 1997), p. 421.
