I hope he's already dead, that way we never felt his presence leave. Or, if he is still alive, I hope we do not find out until after the fact. I know in this day and age that's impossible; but let's imagine he does go quietly, and everyone involved keeps hush, so that suddenly it's 2037 and everyone's like, Dude, is this guy gonna live forever? Who? Pynchon? He died back in 2015. Wouldn't that be tits?

sorry, OP

I'd also be upset about hearing of Pynchon passing away, but he's getting close to that age where, if he's been good to himself and looked after his health, he may have another 15 years if he's lucky. Even then though being healthy can still hit you with strokes or a difficult accident.

All this pessimism is putting me down, I just hope he still has another book he's willing to give us before he goes. Same with Cormac McCarthy actually - he's older than Pynchon, but similarly hermetic most of the times - as he was working on a book called The Passenger which I think was claimed to be his longest book yet. At least McCarthy wasn't cheated out of his Pulitzer.

I wonder if there's any correlation between how long he holds the toke in and how obscene a given scene is.

Then again, the more probable and disappointing reality is that he only ever smoked when he was younger, and now he's stuck with fans that project their stoner mindset onto their literary idol. Probably gives him the shits every time he reads those kindsa memes about him.
