> yfw you realize that Tommy Pinchin' doesn't exist, and is just another kooky name made up by the real author

Truly a genius
Thomas Pynchon is the literary equivalent of Robin Williams

He had Vladimir Nabokov as a professor in college, and Nabokov's wife has confirmed that she remembers helping her husband grade his papers.
His real legal birth name is Thomas Pynchon.
