I can't wrap my head around the fact that such a well known and loved author can be so elusive. Understandable 10-20 years ago, but it's 2016 -- doesn't he have groceries to buy?

>>7973914
its still easy to keep your name private in public. after all, no one's got a viable picture of him in decades and he might pay for things in cash. People might not also know him because he's not the most famous american author ever

He does buy groceries. If you go to New York you might see him walking around.

He fucking lives in Manhattan. He walks around all the goddamn time. Literally no one fucking cares about him except hipsters and people who can't recognize him now anyways and hipsters don't leave the Brooklyn.

>> No.7974093

He's not that reclusive. He leads a normal life, he just doesn't want media attention, and he isn't enough of a celebrity with the general public that the media would force itself upon him.

No ones knows how he looks now. The only way it would happen is if he is getting IDed for beer or something, but who is going to check that for an old man?

I know this is true of Kesey and the unabomber, and there was shady stuff going on in places where he hung out in his early years but this needs some evidence.
