Very interesting. One thing that comes to mind is that idea that "bad press is good press". By being a so-called "recluse", Pynchon is able to effectively market his books - whether intended or not.

I would be interested to hear from anybody that had actually read his work. I have a copy of Mason Dixon as well that has been cracked but quickly shut.
