Relatively little is known about Pynchon's private life; he has carefully avoided contact with reporters for more than fifty years. Only a few photos of him are known to exist, nearly all from his high school and college days, and his whereabouts have often remained undisclosed.

A 1963 review of V. in The New York Times Book Review described Pynchon as "a recluse" living in Mexico, thereby introducing the media label with which journalists have characterized him throughout his career.

He's living the dream.

Salmon Rushdie once had dinner with Pynchon and described him as looking “exactly like Thomas Pynchon should look…he wears a kind of lumberjack shirt, blue jeans and has, like, Albert Einstein long hair and Bugs Bunny front teeth.” Rushdie apparently loved Vineland, which is honestly a banger.

TBF anteaters can look a bit strange the first time seeing one.
