I wonder if Pynchon has some elaborate event planned for when he dies.

>> No.6265831

I bet if he dies he won't get a sticky because crossboarding plebs don't give a shit about him

I bet /lit/ will have one big thread, but /tv/ will have at least 10-15 the day of his death.

No. Instead, the bones of James Joyce and Mozart will joint together and rise from the grave, forming the skeleton-titan of Aesthetic Pleasure and European Global Hegemony. Peace and great art will be the soul of the world of centuries to come.

He peaked thirty years ago, almost twenty if you're being generous, so it would suck for his loved ones but otherwise it's no big deal.

Isn't he in the process of another novel? Any word on its progress?

Does anyone know any info about the new book(s) he's supposedly working on? If you search "Cormac McCarthy untitled" on Amazon UK it lists two titles- "Untitled Mccarthy 14 Mme" and "Untitled Mccarthy 15 Mme"- both with 2016 release dates. Should we get hype?

He's working on two novels at the moment. One of them is supposed to be really big. Set in New Orleans.

Think of what grandiose descriptions he would use to write about the French Quarter in New Orleans. Suttree's Knoxville on psilocybin.

I bet he'll just have it in his will not to tell anyone that he's died. And he'll hit like 110 and everyone will go "what happened?" because he'll hire a ghostwriter to pump out Uninherent Vice 3: Santonio Holmes Wins a Penis-Shaped Lottery Ticket and Gravity's Rainbow 2: They Got Rid Of Indigo

He has a 17 year old son. That has to keep him more active than most his age, if nothing else.
