little help?

[MichaelB]

A master's thesis on why Pynchon is 'a recluse'?  Brother, come on. 
Who effen cares whether or not he gives interviews or not?  What
could be more worthlessly ridiculous and absurd than giving 'the
audience' 'a look' 'into' 'the writer'?  Tactic?  You call Pynchon's
reclusiveness a 'tactic'?

And you wonder why he has chosen that 'tactic'?
