Is this Thomas Pynchon?

[Ya Sam]

It seems that imagining what Pynchon looks like today has become a fad with 
artists.

"Check out New York forensic artist Stephen Mancusi's rendering of what the 
69-year-old reclusive author Thomas Pynchon might look like today. The 
portrait, based on Pynchon's 1955 high school yearbook photo (one of the 
last known snapshots of the Gravity's Rainbow scribe), appears in this 
morning's print issue of EW alongside Ken Tucker's grade-A review of the 
writer's long-awaited novel Against the Day.

It's a little jarring seeing the bleary-eyed young author morph into Mr. 
Feeney from Boy Meets World, but it's also pretty cool. Mancusi's done 
similar portraits for people like JonBenet Ramsey and Marilyn Monroe. Who 
else would you like to see artistically aged?"
