"A SCREAMING COMES ACROSS THE SKY. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now. It is too late. The Evacuation still proceeds, but it’s all theatre. There are no lights inside the cars. No light anywhere. Above him lift girders old as an iron queen, and glass somewhere far above that would let the light of day through. But it’s night. He’s afraid of the way the glass will fall―soon―it will be a spectacle: the fall of a crystal palace. But coming down in total blackout, without one glint of light, only great invisible crashing.
I remember that when he Gravity's Rainbow won the national bookaward it was published by viking press, i believe and publisher tom guinzburg and i are old friend on the ocasion of national book award they use to have the big gather i think it's carnegie hall tom was very sure that pintyon was gonna win the national award but he knew that pintyon wasn't *** appear wonderfull vid of imagination and craveness he gat wonderfull actor called professer cooray so he came out onto the stage and tomas pintyon was anounced great roar** of aplause coz everybody knew that pintyon was more or less reclusive at home actutally ** appeared in the ** water but instead this man then perceided to give acceptance speach
The jury has determined to divide the prize between two writers. To Thomas Pynchon, for GRAVITY'S RAINBOW which bridges the gap between the two cultures and puts the world of manipulation and paranoia within the perspectives of history. (To Isaac Bashevis Singer for A CROWN OF FEATHERS and a life-time of distinguished work revealing a skeptical, philosophical and mischievous obses- sion with human and demonic character.) I present this not to Mr. Singer, but to Mr. Pynchon. However... accept this financial stipulation - ah - stipend in behalf of, uh, Richard Python for the great contribution and to quote from some of the missiles which he has contributed...Today we must all be aware that protocol takes precedence over procedure. Howewer you say - WHAT THE - what does this mean... in relation to the tabulation whereby we must once again realize that the great fiction story is now being rehearsed before our very eyes, in the Nixon administration... indicating that only an American writer can receive...the award for fction i do wanna thank i don wanna thank breschnev and kissinger and the president of the united states and i also wanna thnk truman capote thank you.
I was aproached by herb gardener to do a twinkled thief and herb gardner is also a friend of guinzberg I forgot how to pronounce his name but it was the commanding philosophy and the viking press and being a friend he asked i understand from the article that i read he asked pintyoun it would be ok .he didnt know me i didn kno pintson so since we didn kno each other they could be no responsibility as to identity of the guy who accepting award becoz they didn kno pintyon i didn kno pinch .pinc,i wounder if he knows himself but this is beside the point it was a very vary interesting assignment but the fact was odd everybody thought i was pintyon there i was begining to thhink maybe i woud be reincarneted
