Pynchon's Cameo in IV (PIC)

[Michael Amico]

If Pynchon's protruding teeth are such a distinguishing feature of his
face, wouldn't it be most fitting and ironic that his cameo in the film is
as one of the dentists wearing a surgical mask operating on a patient's
teeth in one of the rooms on the tour through, if I remember correctly, the
golden fang shaped building?
