The 85 Weirdest, Day 69: Thomas Pynchon

The 85th anniversary issue of Weird Tales features our big list of
"The 85 Weirdest Storytellers of the Past 85 Years." We're breaking it
down online, too: one honoree per day, in no particular order, for 85
days!

If not for space and time, everything would happen all at once. Maybe
that's what happened to the reclusive THOMAS PYNCHON (1937– ) decades
ago, as his books are chock-full of everything. Anarchism, Boy's Own
fiction, Tesla, the aether, very very smart dogs, the Hollow Earth,
and dirigibles — and that's just in his latest  novel. More prized
than read, Pynchon will likely go down in history famed as the guy who
played himself on The Simpsons with a bag over his head.
