Gravity's Rainbow was his magnum opus. Having written it, he can pass on peacefully. He's particularly proud of the bit where funny name goes down the toilet - it makes him guffaw like a madman. He sends his regards and hopes that /lit/ will have many more fruitful discussions of his works.

I wonder if the Civil War novel rumours are a reference to him working on what was Mason & Dixon, which he had been planning since the mid 60s.

I've been on it for years, guys. I've been sending his wife, and agent, Melanie, letters every week for the past 4 years.
>When's that old fart gonna publish another one?
>C'mon, Tom, don't be an old smelly pussy.
>Tom! The Novel, Tom! Hand it over.
>Listen here, bitch, I know you're keeping Tom locked away in a room, blitzed out of his head on painkillers for his arthritis, telling him to "rest" instead of write. You'll get yours, bitch!
>Please show this letter to Tom, vile bitch.
>Tom, I know you're reading these letters!
>Where's the novel, old man?
>Cormac is gonna edge you out.

I heard rumors of the civil war novel about 5 years ago from a pretty good authority. Haven't heard anything since.

Well, he should publish it before there's a real civil war in America and it's too late.

Isn't he like 90? Dude probably just wants to relax. Maybe we will get a Pale King-style reconstruction of his last novel when he passes.

Fuck no, if he dies before its finished I hope they bury it with him
