59. Thomas Pynchon

An enterprising American fabulist whose self-imposed retreat from the
public sphere probably venerates him more than it should. Mason &
Dixon could be praised or reviled; it was a massively courageous
undertaking, a screaming across the sky. Worked at Boeing for a time.
After publishing V. the greatest first novel ever by a human, he wrote
to his agent. "If they come out on paper anything like they are inside
my head then it will be the literary event of the millennium."
