I had a really vivid dream that I was designing the cover for the next Thomas Pynchon novel. I was worried it was too simple, but knew it was the right design so submitted it anyway.
It’s stayed in my head for days so I’ve had to make it in real life. I hope I get the gig. @tompynchon.bsky.social

A Bibliometric Overview of Pynchon Studies: Introducing the Thomas Pynchon Online Bibliography (TPOB)
The Belgian bibliographer and independent scholar Michel Ryckx created and maintained the world’s most extensive bibliography of Thomas Pynchon scholarship on his website Vheissu.net from 2002 through 2022. This article introduces a new resource, the Thomas Pynchon Online Bibliography (TPOB), which transforms Vheissu.net’s extensive Pynchon bibliography into an open bibliography on Zotero, a free, open-source, and widely-used reference management software, with bibliographic metadata for each item, and extensively updated with entries and additional metadata for its 1.0 release. TPOB can assist scholars in locating Pynchon studies on specific topics, by specific authors, in specific languages, etc. The TPOB dataset also supports the investigation of novel insights into Pynchon studies, and may contribute to contemporary bibliometric literary studies more broadly. This paper presents exploratory experiments on the Pynchon studies metadata in TPOB including studies by year and page count, text-to-commentary ratio, formal features of bibliographic titles, intertextual fields, and semantic web.

Pynchon has a remarkable grasp of the American vernacular and no ear for prose rhythm whatsoever

GPT named this series "Dreams of the Emerald Age" but the lead prompt was actually a Pynchon reference "We await silent Tristero's empire"

Ordered the new #pynchon novel from an American seller on eBay because I don't like the artwork on the UK edition, and instead a performance carbuteror for a moped turned up! Seems like it was meant to go to Puerto Rico

Finished Shadow Ticket.
Fuck the reviewers.
This is Pynchon playing jazz late into the night after the last patron has left the club; maybe there's no home to go to, but with nowhere particular to be, either.

Apophenia, seeing far-fetched connections. Pareidolia, seeing faces in things. Pynchon mentions them in SHADOW TICKET. At a metalevel, I'm having apophenia with his work. Like he's specifically writing about recondite thing I've thought about. "Message to you, Rudy." psyche.co/ideas/when-t...

‘Apophenia’ is reflected in pleasant and troubling experiences alike – from seeing faces in clouds to conspiracy beliefs
