Nuh-uh. I shouldn't be posting this but I'm going to, it's Christmas. I know this guy at Penguin. He lives in my building and invites me out for drinks every now and then. One night i got around to asking him if he knew any interesting rumors going around about authors. And he told me his boss, an agent who deals with Pynchon's books, getting then edited, published, any press and stuff like that, recently told him a secret about Pynchon.

You know how there was that 11 year gap between GR and Vineland? And after 11 years, all Pynchon punched out was a (relatively) small book that didn't even begin to live up to what he accomplished in GR? Well apparently Pynchon's been playing Metal Gear Solid since the early 60s, he was going to finish it in 1980, but he deleted his save file at the last minute and started a new game. Then he was going to finish it in 1994, he said he was finally ready, but wiped it again at the last minute. After Mason & Dixon came out he made an arrangement with his publisher: he's gonna continue playing it until he dies, and he will leave his perfect 100% save file in his will. So basically, everything he's every published (GR, Against the Day, M&D) have all been nothing but a side project for this perfect run of Metal Gear Solid he's been playing, replaying and perfecting for the last fifty years or so.

They used to say the same bulllshit about Salinger, but it's been over 5 years since his death and nothing has come.
