1968 Writers and Editors War Tax Protest

However a lot of people do seem to let it go at "recluse"...  maybe
not serious fans.  Personally hearing stories about him jumping out a
second story window and running away from, who was it, Norman Mailer? 
makes me enjoy his books all the more... because I already liked the
books and it gives me the impression that the author is in  fact as
cool as his books.  I get the feeling that if he stumbled across all
this though, he'd feel pretty weird and not like it very much. 
Whereas someone like Gaddis stayed out of the spotlight to kind of
make a point, Pynchon seems to have done it out of paranoid leanings,
at least to start.  Though I might run from Mailer too.
