Good evening, /lit/. My name is Thomas Pynchon. Must say, this community is the future of world literature. My faith in you all is immeasurable.

You may ask whatever you’d like about my work, anybody else’s work, etc., but don’t expect the world. This picture is the library from where I am making this post. No, I won’t provide a picture of myself, but I’m always happy to email with a clever student.

Hello Mr. Pynchon! I love your books. My favourite is Mason & Dixon.

Hey, Mr. Pynch. Under what conditions did you work to create the paranoia that exists throughout Gravity's Rainbow? Also, was the scene between Pirate and Katje in spy hell a scene you visualized? it was one of the notably easy visualizable scenes in the book, and I was curious, I note that there was mention of love found in chaos earlier in the conversation regarding the superior composer.

>> No.10973470

Do I need to read any of your other work before starting Mason & Dixon? Or is M&D perfectly fine to start with?

>> No.10973483

>>10973470
Though they’re all sisters and cousins, you can start with Mason and Dixon.

Yeh but he only does it behind his back so don't blame him, you know. He's a victim of Bill Murray as much as anyone.

Hey, gang. Pynchon here. The real deal, not OP. Comin' to clarify some slander Salman caught recently. Rushdie's a swell guy, gang. I'm behind the eight ball here, but the weirdo is on my wavelength, y'know? Just one groove's difference and we're dancin' to different songs, but dancin' nonetheless. Oakley Hall on the other hand. We wuz kickin' soil along the sandy loams back in 2006 sendin' buckshots at quail on the pitch of Caldwell's Upper. Good times. Good meat. P. out.

Don Barthelme. What (by or about him) am I missing? I've tried (you) know but for whatever reason what I've read by him seems caught up in a place from which the majority of your books have somehow managed to escape- call it the Perfect Past.
Any thoughts with respect to Phil Kerr's passing, or the Berlin Trilogy (at least)?
Excessively fond of both V. & M&D fwiw. Thank you, and hope (you) have a swell rest of the evening.
