Pynchon's Cameo in IV (PIC)

[Lemuel Underwing]

I suppose I have accepted it on some obscure faith, some witchcraft of the
silver screen, that that is somehow Pynchon. Or else it can be some totem
to hang my hat upon-- to maybe help rid myself of that annoying curiosity.
Pynchon doesn't hide from us, he reveals so much through his novels, to ask
more of him seems... *wrong. *I chalk it up to youth, but I've kept
wondering about what he looks like. I don't think I should. And yet. The
internet affords a sort of anonymity by which I can ask these questions
more freely, make claims more freely... and yet the Spiritual burden of
this Net, how immense.... anyways what was I saying
