The animated image of the dude with the paper bag over his head  
appeared on the Simpsons three times, but only twice featured  
Pynchon's vocal talents.

The equally reclusive Glenn Gould was every bit as bizarre in his  
withdrawal from the world as Proust, maintaining a vampire shift in  
his sleep cycles, awake in the wee small hours and calling up his  
friends, who he maintained relations via marathon late night phone  
calls.

	He designed his solitude to suit himself, like a pearly shell. He
	made it a work of art. He distanced himself from other people's
	emotions -- and then he was brilliant.

Gould composed "documentaries" on the subject of solitude:

	He adored Arrowroot cookies, Barbra Streisand and animals.
	He abhorred sunlight, the stage and airplanes.
