>tfw you will never get to roleplay as "le mysterious reclusive genius author"
How much fun do you think Pynchon is having playing this role.. I wish I had that opportunity. :/ It would be so fun and would really stroke my ego to have a bunch of people making conspiracy theories about me and having it be so that everyone I meet feels "blessed to be in my very presence" on the basis of being a mysterious recluse... but alas, I do not have the writing ability to get there :/

I like to imagine the people that meet him and don't know who he is, or the people that meet him, enjoy books, and just don't get it. I bet he enjoys these people more than his little cult of followers.

i am already a mysterious reclusive author. i am so reclusive that i don't even send my work to publishers - i keep it all on a thumbdrive that no-one is allowed to see.

You are playing that role on 4chan. It's what you tell yourself whenever you encounter a normie: "I am smarter than you plebian."

He's not even a recluse.
