A Thomas Pynchon Bibliography of Secondary Materials

Statistics

There are currently 3624 valid bibliographical items in the database, of which 481 can be consulted online (13.27 percent). Only 95 articles have been written by 2 persons, while 1779 unique authors can be discerned. One might think this is strange because there are 2641 persons listed (which means only 67.36 percent is linked to a valid item as author) but not so if you consider that, on a publication level, 785 have been flagged as author or editor of a publication, and 418 dissertations are registered. 193 titles have a history, and 620 (or 17.11 percent) are not written in English. 35.82 percent, or 1298 titles were published or presented outside the US.
