The Independent has published an article about Thomas Pynchon today. As most articles about Pynchon, it seems to focus on the fact that he is a recluse (and rarely photographed) rather than he is a remarkable author.
His reclusive nature lead me ages ago to suggest to friends that he and J.D. Salinger may be one and the same. (Well, they have never been seen together in public, have they?) I was most pissed off to find out I wasn't the first to propose this.
I like a lot of Pynchon's books - Gravity's Rainbow and The Crying of Lot 49 in particular. I haven't read Mason & Dixon (it wasn't well reviewed), but his new book, Against the Day, sounds interesting.
