@drcanoro Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.
To Thomas Pynchon and his desire to be a recluse, I quote Ralph Ellison from his book "Invisible Man" - "Even hibernations can be overdone, come to think of it. Perhaps that's my greatest social crime, I've overstayed my hibernation, since there's a possiblity that even an invisible man has a socially responsible role to play." And please don't respond with "Pynchon is visible through his words."
@Boudosaved Pynchon is visible through his lack of visibility. The cult around his invisibility has become his public image, as much on display as any other public image, yes?
I think it's amusing that reporters deem any notable person who doesn't want to talk to them " a recluse". Someone can live a full life, go to places, meet people and have many friends, without wishing to spend his time talking to the media.
@nickslick75 I know. And then they paint the "recluses" as oddballs or eccentrics when they could be totally normal living totally normal lives away from the media. Pynchon himself said it best when he said recluse is just a word made up by the media when someone doesn't want to talk to them.
almost as much as he loves cameras lol

@Boudosaved Actually, I don't think Pynchon cares about what you or Ellison have to say... and I'm not even a fan of his.

@FractalBolt You state the obvious, but that in and of itself doesn't stop me from expressing my opinion.

The man hasn't been autographed in over 50 years, yet he voiced himself on the Simpsons.
THAT is cultural significance!

@787ivan He's so reclusive that very few photographs of him exist so that joke here is that nobody knows what he looks like.

A testament to the absolute fucking awesomeness of The Simpsons, as well as the absolute fucking awesomeness of Pynch.

I love the fact that a family prime time comedy series has a reference to someone as obscure as Thomas Pynchon.
