Pynchon Watch Y2K6: Cover image, release date; grass, your ass

Amazon's got a cover image posted for the upcoming Thomas Pynchon novel, Against the Day. It's sparse. But there's a symbol on it. Hey, Blue! What do you make of that clue? Is it the real deal? An advanced copy cover? Does it really even matter to the legion of eager fans?

Also, note that the release date has been bumped up to November. So if you're like me and you were considering reading all of Pynchon's other stuff before the new one comes out so you can play along at home with all the grad students on the Internet? Forget it. Go home. It's over. You're screwed.
