Pynchon on Twitter (Official)

[Ben Canard]

Actually, the thing about Pynchon is we don't really know shit. We think we
know but when something turns up we can be surprised. Anyone for a Brady
Bunch marathon? We now apparently know one person wouldn't join twitter.
Print too was once a despicable medium/ Donne lamented feeling obliged to
"descend" into it. Donne however wasn't done in by the despicable medium of
his age.
