when is he publishing his New Orleans/alien/mathematics book,

Supposedly at the end of this year. I don't know if it will be good but I'm sure it won't be bad. He keeps postponing the release to edit it more.
I honestly feel like McCarthy, Pynchon, Morrison, and Gass have huge tomes they're working on in their old age to publish posthumously. They probably have a group chat where they place bets on who's gonna die first

who really writes great novels after they turn 60, let alone 80 like these guys are. I'm sure there are some exceptions, but judging from all their outputs post 60 i wouldnt get too excited

Pynchon's last novel is the only thing postponing my suicide desu

I really enjoy his non-fiction. I liked some of his fiction about whores...but most of his fiction is too fucking long and difficult

Gass has said he's done with long fiction. The Tunnel is his masterpiece. Pynchon I feel has one left in him. Mccarthy has stated as much.

40-60 are the prime years of writers but there are a few who get better. Yeats immediately comes to mind
