    Man, we may be going for a famous American contemporary writers triple header. First Tom Wolfe, now Roth. Is Pynchon healthy?

    back in the day it was much harder to find out some famous person had passed now days with social media its easy, but both these guys were well into their 80's which is not a bad run so its not really a tradgedy IMO

    Awesome. Listened to this on CD in my car driving across the country. As mentioned, companion piece to Man in High Castle.

    For those that want a nice short piece from his late work, Everyman.
