{{quote|Here's your quote: "Thomas Pynchon loved this book, almost as much as he loves cameras!" Hey, over here! Have your picture taken with a reclusive author! Today only, we'll throw in a free autograph! But wait, there's more!|'''Thomas Pynchon''' on ''[[The Simpsons]]''}}
'''Thomas Ruggles Pynchon, Jr.''' (1937 - ) is an American author and famously [[Reclusive Artist]], probably
An almost mythic figure. Only three known photographs of
His works are often [[Doorstopper|long]], [[Viewers Are Geniuses|exceedingly complex]] and completely hilarious. Despite constant and often in-depth discussions on imperialism, industrial society, religion, science, mathematics, technology and racism, along with heavy borrowing from both world history and the history of literature, Pynchon's novels are equally interested in so-called 'low-culture,' television, comic books and rock 'n' roll (common to the [[Post Modern|post modernists]]), with the emotional centre of his books usually residing with a 'schlemiel' (leading, predictably, to the comment that most Pynchonian heroes likely couldn't read his books).
