He posts here so of course the predictions will be true because he's gonna make them himself and then pretend how le ebin digits and KEK made it all real.

>>11479668
I think he has better things to do

>>11479685
You're wrong.

>>11479663
It will be pulp sci-fi.

>>11479690
that would be sad

>implying there will be another one

>>11479726
yeah that's believable

>>11479726
Guess he finally discovered who They are

>>11479726
wtf i love Pynchon now

>>11479699
when you grow up, you'll notice that you're not magically transformed into a higher being, and are also not on crucial UN missions 24/7

>>11479769
yeah and you stop going on 4chan too

>>11479780
why should you ever stop doing that? did you sign a non-online-communication contract when you hit age 21?

>>11479785
because this place is shit

After Bleeding Edge it's a possibility

>>11479663
It’ll have ten pages of glossy pictures of him in the middle.

>>11479726
So why would they publish bleeding edge in the first place? I'm sure they read it before publishing it

>>11480183
that picture isnt him baka read the article it comes from

>>11480268
It was subtle enough that if one or several of their goy diversity hire editors were the ones who read it they might not have noticed but it's clear enough that hyperaware jews would pick up on it.

>a novel featuring 9/11, spy escapades and various Mossad/Arab characters with unclear links between them

lol its just Pynchon being his usual zany self!

>>11480363
Pynchon's been talking shit about Israel since GR at least and it would come to the surprise to absolutely no one that he opposes it today

>>11480363
Wow dude you cracked the code!!

>>11479788

Is Pynchon a big anti Israel/Anti Saudi Arabia leftist? I'm only asking cause i'm a leftist and i'm always disappointed to see people I like refuse to criticize these fuckers.

>>11480497
Pynchon transcends the left/right dichotomy

That's Tom Schaub, the guy who played bridge with Pynchon after finding "Tyrone Slothrop" in a phonebook.

Post rare Pinecones

>>11480522
Sadly, there are no rare Pinecones. I have a small obsession with knowing about this man that I’m almost certain I wouldn’t have if he didn’t keep it so secret. Forbidden fruit syndrome. But I bet he’s really boring and the things I am still able to imagine about him are more satisfying,

>>11480545
Not rare, but this is the full size image of the London Magazine shot.

I keep telling you all it's about the post-Iraqi Freedom private contracting and mercenary market, and the working title is The Circuit, but none of you believe me. You'll see.

Benny Profane, Oedipa Maas, Tyrone Slothrop, Zoyd Wheeler, Mason, Dixon, the Chums of Chance, Doc Sportello and Maxine Tarnow awaken together in a room with no memory of how they got there, and wacky shenanigans ensue!

>>11479663

It won't be a legible book, he'll publish a 1500 page monster of various songs and rhymes, ragtime ditties, and cheesy wartime jingles that make up an extremely vague plot.

Information. Waring information, dissemination. Competing and entropic information. Mixed with the high volume of information in a sort of pornographic triptych of how selected misinformation began to "inform" the public and the reaction to something unbelievable.

I don't recall if these pictures are from an article or that they were posted on imgur a while back. Either way, the guy's face looks a lot like Pynchon in this pic >>11480571 though we will probably never be sure if it's really him.

>>11479663
Drumpf

Pynchon's going to come out as #NiceRx and write a book about patchwork, acceleration and the cathedral

>>11483158
>>11484798
It's him. The pictures are from D2, a Norse magazine, in an article called Den Mystiske Mr. Pynchon. https://www.dn.no/d2/2017/11/30/1548/Kultur/den-mystiske-mr-pynchon

It's behind a paywall and is in Norwegian, but the captions for each photo read as follows:
>>11484798
"My pulse rose. Oh, what was this? White hair and braces? A stick with a handle shaped like a spirit head? Eccentric, anyway. But was it the author? We had to see him again."
>>11484746
"The glaring suspicion grows as I see him again from the outside: The cafe of Orwasher's Bakery, where he has been shopping and shopping, while I have been waiting outside - on a stone staircase at the corner of 81th street and Amsterdam Avenue
Do we have him now? Rabbit teeth and protruding ears. A thoughtful look. Pynchon? He went to a bakery and filled a bag with pastries. We ran after.
I'm now looking straight at the face: The white hair covers both of his ears, but: Are they actually quite out? As he gets even closer, I also see this: Two dark eyes, and in the middle of the white beard: A pair of teeth like ... on a rabbit.
>>11480758
"Home. In a stately apartment building on 81th Street on the Upper West Side, he disappeared - before we were told anything. Was it really him? Was it Thomas Pynchon who left the world again?"

>>11484798
>tfw one day a group of disadvantaged urban youths in New York are going to play the knockout game on what they think is some random old cracka and accidentally kill Pynchon.

I find it to be pathetic and sort of sickening that a pack of useless scandinavians followed him around snapping photos of the old man knowing full well he wants to be left the fuck alone.

>>11480363
Mental gymnastics

>>11479663
I predict Pynchon is not working on another tome and will probably not publish one again.

>>11486760

is he your mom or something lol

>>11486230
>It's him.
But how do you know?

he actually died last autumn

>>11486788
He is unironically my dad. Wish I could prove it to you but he’d be very unhappy with me.
This thread is hilarious to me. The amount of times I heard him fart from the other room while growing up. He’s just a man, man.

>>11487186
J-jackson?

>>11487186
Indicate there is some merit to this statement by posting a timestamped 1st edition of one of his earliest works.
There must be some laying around the house.

>>11487186

>>11487223
Kek
I don’t live with him man, I’m a boomer. Visit him every now and again, he’s about stops away.
desu i should visit him more now that we’re talking about it.
Honestly I don’t know how to prove it without breaching his trust.

>>11487241
Funny how everyone here references the bananas because it’s all on the first page and that’s as far as they got.

>>11487242
is he redpilled? does your mother know her place?

>>11487251
memes don't care about the long or short of anything

>>11487254
Tbh his writing surprises all of us because he’s just a completely ordinary dude. In fact he’s always stating the obvious. Like I used to get irritated as a kid. “Listen son, it’s very important to treat others with respect,” “it’s very important to grocery shop after you’ve eaten and never before,” etc. Really used to irritate me.
One fun tidbit is he has a photographic memory and his spatial reasoning is off the charts. Took us to Florence once, nd by the end of the first day he knew where every single landmark was by memory. I was about six at the time. That’s his only quirk though, he isn’t walking around quoting the ancients and writing/solving riddles like you guys think.

>>11487254
>>11487293
And my mother is the reason he is who he is. He’d be the first to tell you that.

>>11487293
that doesn't at all answer my question and I don't believe you're not roleplaying for lols

>>11487303
Sorry i’m not braindead enough to even consider whether he is “redpilled” you neanderthal. Off to /pol/ you go, shew shew

yeah, checks out.

>>11487825
I’m not

>>11487293
Is he working on anything after bleeding edge? Also, have you read all of his books? Do you discuss them with him?

>>11487729
Pretty big daddy pynch has bigger things to worry about than a bunch of /lit/ fags mailing him

>>11487833
jp is a grown man by now, he would’ve went to vassar in the early to mid 00s, would defs not shitbpost about his dad. if his dad wasn’t in his 80s id say there’s a greater chance he would pose as his son and shitpost about himself

>>11487898
Not to my knowledge. He spends 90% of his time on strolls, sitting in the park, or having coffee/tea with industry people and friends. Haven’t read AD or Slow Learner. We have never once discussed any of his works, though occasionally we talk about his memories of writing certain books. GR was the happiest time of his life. I’m not old or smart enough to really understand a lot of what he writes about.

Hoping for a lavishly illustrated children's book, "W is for Weed", or something. Maybe multimedia, with lots of song and dance breaks and a cute vaudeville flourish at the end.

>>11487971
>GR was the happiest time of his life.
interesting, can you expand on this?

>>11487881
What are you doing with your life currently? Still hang out with PTA?
