Amazon.com is playing host to the usual zaniness around a new Pynchon book. This time, we've seen a testimonial added to the then-unnamed-book's entry, outlining the subject matter, and purportedly signed by Pynchon himself. Then it was taken away.
Now Slate tells us the book has a title: Against the Day.
How best to prepare for this advent? A rereading of Gravity's Rainbow? Starting up a blog, either pretending to be an FBI agent named Brock Vond, or perhaps exploring the mysteries of Vheissu? Installing a lightbulb named Byron in the town of Novi Pazar? Perhaps installing an old throw-switch in one arm, ready to go the other way.
