Stephen Michael Tomaske mssTomaske papers 4 Memorial Collection of Thomas Pynchon: Finding Aid Biographical Note on Thomas Pynchon Thomas Pynchon (born 1937) is an award-winning author, whose books include V. and Gravity’s Rainbow. His fiction is known for being dense and complex. Especially because of his closely-guarded privacy, his life and works are the subject of scholarly study and debate around the world. Biographical Note of Stephen Tomaske Stephen Tomaske (1956-2002) was an avid Pynchon fan and scholar. A student assistant and later a staff member in reference services at the library at California State University Los Angeles, he was familiar with various research methods, meticulously requesting background information about Pynchon from libraries and institutions across the U. S. in his spare time. He researched Pynchon’s family history, youth and literary works, collecting a biographical research collection as his legacy. Scope and Content The collection contains research materials related to noted author, Thomas Pynchon. Many of the documents are photocopies of originals obtained from various libraries and institutions. There is a large collection of Family History materials, arranged in three sub-series: by the names of individuals in the Pynchon family, by geographic location, and by the names of other families related to the Pynchons. The inclusive dates, ca. 1392 – 2001, reflect the depth of Tomaske’s genealogical research. Biographical Material includes chronologically arranged information about Pynchon’s youth and pre- writing career, with particular attention to his time at Cornell University and in the Navy. Almost all of the logbooks for the USS Hank for 1956, where and when Pynchon served, are included here. Literary and Subject Materials include information about various topics found in Pynchon’s books, as well as literary criticism of Pynchon’s books. This section includes photocopies of the first issues of Pynchon Notes, a literary journal devoted to the works of Thomas Pynchon. Publishing Material includes copies of various short stories and other works by Pynchon, as well as information about his literary awards and publishing. Pynchon Correspondence includes copies of letters by Thomas Pynchon. The collection also contains Tomaske’s Correspondence with other Pynchon scholars, various institutions, and people who know Pynchon, as well as some of Tomaske’s original notes. The collection includes Tomaske’s notecards, which appear to be part of his chronology project for Pynchon, as well as several audio cassette tapes of interviews by Tomaske. Finally the collection includes ephemera in the form of magazines that contain articles about Pynchon. Arrangement Organized in the following series: • Family History (Boxes 1-9) • Biographical Material (Boxes 10-11) • Literary and Subject Material (Boxes 12-16) • Publishing Material (Boxes 17-19) • Pynchon Correspondence and Material (Box 20) • Stephen Tomaske Correspondence (Box 21) • Tomaske Notes (Box 22) • Miscellaneous Non-Pynchon Materials (Box 23) • Notecards (Box 24) • Audio Cassette Tapes (Box 25) • Ephemera (Box 26 and loose volumes) Arranged alphabetically within each series.
