Happy Birthday, Thomas Pynchon! One of our Greats. The intellectual illumination does not end.

[Michael Bailey]

Got my CoL49 paperback, totin’ it to the Wawa Station…a little late and not
super public, but it’s the thought that counts, innit?

Happy birthday to the guy who at one time or another I’ve thought of as the
guy behind a lot of different posts - We could all be pseudonyms except me,
a-and how does anyone else know I’m not?

More realistically, even if he’s never even seen this list, he has inspired
all this wonderful ideation, persiflage, badinage, zomoskepsis, and
interaction, with those glorious books.

Many happy returns, Mr Pynchon!
