He posts here all the time dude
source: my uncle works at Penguin and is friends with Pynchon's agent.
After reading Bleeding Edge I find it difficult to believe he isn't aware of Veeky Forums
Yeah, I am
he's probably not even a real person...
This.
I think the same thing.
I also think that he's aware about that wiki with all his works and references.
He is dead.
F
He's been dead since 1973, get on with the programme dude.
I am the programme.
:0
He's not just aware of us, he's one of us.

I don't understand those posts
>mfw pychon-senpai noticed the bugs meme
I want his next book to be a series of greentexts
In the first one he's just pointing out a pun/historical reference in Shakespeare that nobody had pointed out before. As for the 2nd one, I don't fully get it either. Something to the tune of 'Shakespeare isn't real, folks. It's a pen name' or something like that. The rest of it is a very thorough explanation of what The Crying of Lot 49 is all about. Check it out.
I'd love another book but from what I've heard from people who've read Bleeding Edge, it doesn't seem like he's gonna crank out another one. Apparently there's something at the end that makes it very clear that he's done writing.
Hey Ruggles, nice quads.
There are two things you have to understand before you read Pynchon.
1. Thomas pynchon is smarter than you.
2. Thomas Pynchon hates you.
Tommy Pinecone in a nutshell
Quads confirm, Pinecone is Satan.
well when pynchon finally croaks that poster can be the guy to ghostwrite a couple "lost manuscripts" for his estate, that little diddy was a lot more pynchonian than vineland anyways
I need some assistance here,
I'm still reading Swann's Way, Brother's Karamazov and base lit,
but I need to know if I should read the likes of DFW and Pynchon, or are they just meme authors (and offer no quality reading).
Please reply
do you think Wikipedia will publish his death
Read one book at a time you pleb.
Do you like extremely challenging reads that have substance behind them?
his agent will probably put out a one paragraph press release like a week or two after they flush his ashes
I like Pynchon novels for the same reason I like anime like Naruto or One Piece. The books that he does just have this amazing huge scope and it feels like a journey with a bunch of twists and turns. Read it if you want something like that.

What the fuck... Pynch has got to go out with a bang. It may even be a 100-page neofinnegans, but I need his last novel to fuck me up. This is non-negotiable ffs.
Seriously doubt Pynchon somehow has the exact same taste as lit in authors
you gotta admit that song is pynchonesque af tho, plus like if ur a paranoid recluse are you gonna go on reddit? twitter? no ur gonna go on here and shitpost, it's probably not him but i can almost believe it
Sure, but anyone who browses Veeky Forums even semi-regularly would remember the memes. It's not his taste, it's audience awareness.
Why do you think Pynchon would use the internet in the first place? It seems like something he'd try to avoid as much as possible.
why would pynchon watch BBC series? how are those posts at all reminiscent of Pynchon? which Pynchon novel contains disjointed and nonsensical Shakespeare theories?
the absolute STATE of pynchon fans
the song is super pynch the shakespear scholarshit not as much
Because of Bleeding Edge.
bro does anyone have that post where some dude got all defensive about pynchon not writing anything for 15 years after gr where he's like "pynchon wasn't just smoking weed in a shack ok he was writing articles for popular mechanics under a pseudonym" idk but it just seemed weird the way the guy got defensive and also had this like very specific shit
Ok, thanks
thank you
WHat thefuck
It's obvious all of you convince Pynch posts on Veeky Forums want him to be so much you are malforming these posts into actually being his. The fact is, anyone can give off the impression they are Pynchon if they try.
>"...and we have together concluded the effects felt by the absence of a father to include the following:
1. male will seek the most readily apparent figure to which he will transpose a 'fatherly affinity,' that precludes dismissal, inconvenience or disappointment for the fatherless male, that aligns exactly with the male's source of self-admonishment and that will encourage the male's search for fulfillment (no matter how harmful).
2. male feels a continued attachment to his new father figure, and on a daily basis will remind himself of it. This does not become an obsession, but rather a substitute for the time he would otherwise think of his father, so in that way, the transposition is a cooperative strategy of the sub and the liminal minds, as they produce or reveal emotional cues which help attach the male — to something — in desperate need of the father figure.
3. regarding mental heath — hopelessness; anxiety; depression; difficulty earning attention from the opposite sex; impulses of nihilism, atheism, solipsism, suicide. The physical — chronic fatigue; bowel irregularity; premature alopecia; erectile dysfunction; excessive perspiration under the arms, from the forehead, behind the neck; erratic, difficult or disturbed sleep...
...even today we find examples of this mass transfiguration, the most common being characters from television or from other emerging forms of media..."
The second one is pointing out that we don't know shit about Shakespeare and that it's probable a pen name someone else used. ""Pynchon"" concludes that Shakespeare, whoever he is, was most likely a Catholic. The pen name would be a reference to Breakspeare, the only Englishman to be elected [catholic] pope. He points out some other folks already noticed it but don't care to announce it to the plebs, most of which only started thinking Shakespeare was a Catholic --
-- and not a protestant -- after the whole "Shake-shafte" phenomenon. Perhaps he was Irish. Perhaps there is a conspiracy?
No. Of words associated with supposed agents, yes. Zombies, or us in general.
A collective actually. You wonder why that award didn't go to him? Not because of the work or the controversy from the acceptance speech of other award, but because someone got wind of the collective nature of the work. It's part of interesting in-joke.
Oldfag here with the lowdown on Pynchon rumors and this board.
He's probably aware of the existence and I would guess has visited but I kind of doubt he spent any serious amount of time here.
These are not Pynchon. He went by Prince Lucio Rimanez and we never figured out who exactly it is but he was another writer who had published two books and from context seems to be openly gay. He did actually explain how, if you wanted, you could contact Pynchon using the listed address for his wife, Melanie Jackson, but her agency has since moved locations.
I sent a letter (complete with trystero stamp) to the new address in probably 2014 but never received anything back.
THERE IS one post that I remember thinking might have been part of research for Bleeding Edge. It was someone who was going around to all the major culture boards like Veeky Forums, /mu/, and /tv/ to get a sense of their cultural interests and obsessions. I believe he asked them to share lists of their favorite books, albums, and films which he compiled as part of his research. In conversation, he expressed an encyclopedic and digressive wit that was pretty rare for Veeky Forums. It could easily have just been Rimanez though.
im sorry you narcissistic faggots but no authors shitpost here, no actors shitpost here, only feds shitpost here
Oldfag again.
Tao Lin definitely posts here.
highly illiterate ones with no sense of humour too. But I guess they always have goals and objectives to help understand the mark. Luckily there are factions of others who monitor the monitors or else we'd all be at their whim day in, day out for whatever reason they find necessary. Must be a boring job.
lol whatever makes you feel better autist
no one except FEDS post here
...
Tao Lin confirmed that he shilled his stuff here, try harder
So where is Pynchon in PTA's Inherent Vice film?
what was wrong with my book?
People seem to think it's this guy, and I agree. Compare it to the photo of him in NYC with his son.
Picrel the NYC photo you referenced, please user.
He's talking about this, I guess.
where is this from?
>Apparently there's something at the end that makes it very clear that he's done writing.
Can anyone post the specific bit?
The gay dude isn't the same guy as the og Prince Lucio. The gay dude was a LARPer.
Tao Lin went by the trip Br0.
hehe
Why is no one writing some sort of pseudo history book about Veeky Forums? I'm sure there are a lot of PHD's other postgraduates on social sciences, etc. and there's a lot of interest on chan culture. I think Veeky Forums's next book project should be something like this. Documenting the chan's hapennings along with some sort of pseudoethnological study.
>I'm done writing
>t. Pinecone
>feds shitpost
Based.
Do it then.
I'm not sure he's aware of anything...
