Music hasn't really mattered much in American fiction. There are exceptions, of course. Eudora Welty's bravura short story ``Powerhouse'' reimagines Fats Waller. Don DeLillo's ``Great Jones Street'' lampoons rock so shrewdly it could be called ``Negatively 4th Street.'' John Updike's most famous hero, Harry Angstrom, prefers Perry Como to Frank Sinatra and marvels over the Bee Gees being ``white men who have done this wonderful thing of making themselves sound like black women.'' And so on. Yet those are anomalous instances. There is one American writer, however, whose fiction is the literary equivalent of a vast box set: a blissful, bizarro anthology of rock, jazz, pop, blues, country, show tunes, novelty numbers, you name it. Thomas Pynchon's novels are like a giant jukebox just waiting to happen. Some of the songs are real, some are imaginary. All of them Pynchon makes his own. No other American writer has put so much music into his fiction. McClintic Sphere, in ``V.,'' bears a mark
