Slow Learner is the self-deprecatory title of Thomas Pynchon's 1984 collection of his early short fiction. Fred Marcellino's cover illustration depicts a fountain pen seated on a bicycle. The background is airbrushed with the bicycle added as a collage element. The bicycle appears off center over toward the right to allow the background to wrap around the spine of the the book.
Note: Longtime readers may be wondering about the status of my anticipated interview with Thomas Pynchon. I'm still playing hard to get.
