Can somebody sell me on the multiple Thomas Pynchon theory? Is there any basis behind it, or is this just extrapolating from his privacy/secrecy?

I need to write a research paper for my literature class, and this seems pretty interesting as a topic.

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.

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".

I haven't heard of it outside of 4chan, so it is probably crackpot autism.

However, knowing Pynchon and his/their density of meaning, I can totally see /lit/ picking up on something serious faster than the rest of his following.
