Pynchon on Twitter (Official)

[Mark Kohut]

I agree with Jochen that it is almost inconceivable that Pynchon would be on Twitter.
 
I will however disagree with it being a 'despicable' medium....it can be, like most things,
what you make it.....
 
set up to get news first--in lots of areas--as I have it set up....set up to get inside information
from panels, conferences, reporters--as I do---set up to get links to longer-form work  as I 
have it set up, make it worth it to me...
and I've sent some things gleaned from my twitter stream to plisters and they have often been liked.

How can anyone who knows a bit about TRP think that he would join this
despicable medium? Why not Facebook? Give me a break. You know what
George Clooney, not notorious for reclusiveness, said about Facebook
...

Ugh!

This is the most ridiculous thread I ever saw here.
