So now he looks like a wizard or monk or something instead of an oh-so-badass h4x0r? Is it just aging or does it have something to do with writing Anathem and all that other shit with a dip pen?

'Omnivore's Dilemma' is not something which technically falls into this, but it might be an interesting reading.

he would hate it, but you bet his ass would be shitposting on lit if he was born after 198x

he would make fun of the commies here who think that cultural marxism doesn't exist

Literally me

I'm not sure what the multiple Pynchon theory is. Bit if its lime most of the other "Multiple contributor, Shakespeare wasnt Shakespeare, Aristotle didn't exist, ect ect ect" crack pot tin foil theories I don't know why people find them interesting. It's probably just contrarianism. Maybe everyone just wants to Dan Brown and DaVinci code every aspect of western civilization until nothing means anything or is representative of anything at all. Jesus had kids, no Jesus was gay. No Jesus was gay and had kids and invented Starbucks. It's all just too much autism.

dfw was pynchon

Pynchon probably lives in a nuclear-powered submarine, which zigzags its way from Hawaii to the Californian coast. He has never left it, actually, in over forty years. He calls it, lovingly, USS 'Moira'. And the only sustenance he has is gallons of apple cider vinegar, which he "recycles" over the years. When he needs to send a manuscript to his publishers, he just dictates it via sonar, using the San Francisco Bay as a physical map for his secret alphabet, which can only be deciphered by finding Libertatia and its monoliths, which are clues. Each sentence takes over 10 minutes to dictate, and 10 hours to decipher, since it's dependent on the sundial monoliths in Libertatia, where there is no reception for one to simply record the sundials "happening".

Roses are red
Blood is also red
Could there be a connection
Red beans are also red

I speak to the sun in a tone of regret
For my forefathers have to blame for the dysfunction I beget
Yet I don't fret when the moon arises
Because the age of Pisces will bring no surprises
