“当一名倒霉的教育行政主管抵达Cow Eye Junction简陋的公交候车亭时，他发现了一个饱受干旱困扰的小镇，以及一所处于体制崩溃边缘的社区学院。在努力应对这个由浮肿小牛阴囊、狂欢式数学教学和步步逼近的地区认证机构构成的奇特世界的同时，Charlie必须制定一项计划，带领Cow Eye Community College度过持续改进的重重险阻，迈向世界历史的胜利顶峰。反叛、讽刺且结构宏大，Cow Country是Adrian Jones Pearson迄今最具美国色彩的作品

去读读前几页试试：http://www.amazon.com/Cow-Country-Adrian-Jones-Pearson-ebook... 这读起来一点都不像品钦（Pynchon）。我赞同那篇文章的作者确实挺成功地忽悠出了另一种感觉。
Try reading the first few pages: http://www.amazon.com/Cow-Country-Adrian-Jones-Pearson-ebook... This reads nothing like Pynchon. I agree that the author of the article managed to convey a different impression quite successfully.
……高中时用第一人称写过几篇短篇小说。参见《Voice of the Hamster》（http://genius.com/Thomas-pynchon-voice-of-the-hamster-annota...）。我觉得这篇故事和《Cow Country》之间的相似之处挺有意思的（因为故事发生在仓鼠高中/Hamster High）。Felch 博士放里面毫无违和感。此外，品钦的叙事风格用了大量自由间接引语，以至于很多时候呼之欲出就要变成第一人称了。……
…wrote several short stories in highschool in the first person. See Voice of the Hamster (http://genius.com/Thomas-pynchon-voice-of-the-hamster-annota...). I find the similarities between this story and Cow Country interesting (as it takes place at Hamster High.) Dr. Felch would fit right in. In addition, Pynchon's style of narration employs so much free indirect speech that it often begs to become first person.…
假定这五个人里（或者你熟悉的其他人里）有一个就是《Cow Country》的“真正”作者。单看亚马逊的预览，你会猜是谁？
Suppose one of those five (or others with which you are familiar) was the "actual" author of Cow Country. Who would you guess it was, based on the Amazon preview?
