who is "next"?
>>7568182
to die? as far as you know the pynchonmeister might have kicked the bucket already, what makes you think there would be a press release?
Bloom
>>7568199
We better get a sticky when he kicks the bucket.
Realizing my grandma is like 5-6 years older than Pychon is something I have never been able to emotionally resolve. I 'know' it's true factually. But it never seems true.
>>7568207
>tfw my grandma is 18 years older and my grandpa 15 years older
>>7568199
>he will never read your writing
>>7568228
damn, Grandma likes younger men.
You realize she was a stealth freak right?
Don Deathcroak Delillo
>>7568182
All I know is, when he does go, this place will be a madhouse.
>>7568228
close to mine
grandma born in 1918...grandpa 1923
>>7568242
This actually bothers me because he has pointed me towards so many of the authors that I truly love.
It's bitter sweet to think he ever would though because I know he would call my shit banal or turgid.
>>7568253
Im secretly hoping he has pictures and stories to be released when he dies.
>>7568274
It's tradition for recently deceased writers to have their legacy pimped out by their spouses. Women don't understand integrity or dignity, only material comfort.
>>7568274
Isn't there like a shit ton of letters and stuff sealed until his death?
>Bleeding edge will be his last book
>>7568295
Unless he gives explicit permission to do so, if there's any writer who won't have that happen to him l, it's Pynchon. I truly don't know how he's made it this far and so many people have remained silent. That's an achievement equivalent to Gravity's Rainbow, itself.
>>7568182
>78 years old
>still writing books
He'll be fine.
>>7568295
Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, frog?
>>7568182
Also, didn't some of Salinger's suppressed material recently come out? I remember reading about that copyright lock back in high school and being super hyped. I know something new came out this past year, but it barely registered on my radar.
>>7568321
no just yours
>>7568320
*hell be fine
>>7568314
>permission
When Pynchon croaks all his shit is his wifes property. She can do what she wants with it.
But implying pynchon cares about anything after he is dead.
>>7568363
If he cared so much while he was alive, what makes you believe he won't after he's dead?
>>7568320
Screencap
Queen Elizabeth II.

fuck off /mu/ dont you dare do it
>>7568327
At some college you can see the short story that evolved into Catcher. But you have to be in a locked room with somebody watching you the entire time.
>>7568314
>so many people have remained silent
What do they expect them to do, show pictures of him?
All they can do is talk about how he was, and they have.
>>7568320
OH NO, THIS COULDN'T
>>7568621
>78 years old
>like 3 people have talked about how he was
>like 5 pictures publicly exist
Pretty incredible dude.
>>7568821
some random musician died at 78.
>>7568320
He will die on a Tuesday, screencap this.
>>7568182
I'm dreading the inevitable when Pynchon dies and everyone hops on the bandwagon of fake sympathies from those who've never picked up a book in their life outside of genre trash like ASOIAF and Harry Potter.
Am I the only one here who has been for a while imagining the Harold Bloom sticky?
In my case It's been a year and a half. Sometimes I just think of it.
>>7568327
Ohh! That thing on What.cd that was quickly removed to avoid driving attention to the secret club?
I was on ratio watch that day.
>>7570558
Yes and What's loyal band of greedy sycophants scrub any mention of it from wikipedia despite it being one of the significant literary events of the decade.
>>7570617
http://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/nov/28/salinger-unpublished-stories-leaked-online
>>7570635
WhatCD encouraged the leak by having the largest reward possible for putting anything on the site. And then they immediately took it down when their piracy was threatened by now being part of a literary giant's biography.
>>7568320
tomorrow will be a dark day.
>>7570689
They were pretty good although could only really be called minor works but they offered insight into the rest of his writing.
>>7568825
>some random
Go fuck yourself m8
>>7568821
there was a thread about Motorhead's Lemmy and about 20min after a similar post he died
>>7568191
Yikes
You're right
>>7568295
fuck off
>>7568617
It's at Princeton, I believe. However, didn't some material already slip out?

lllllol. author death stickies are only put up by retarded illiterate mods who don't post here. not a single mod of this website has even heard of bloom.

just, like, why.

New Complexity is meme music, senpai.
Pynchon deserves to die
>write bleeding heart protest books for five decades
>apparently not care enough to actually get involved and try to enact some change
When will people realize that art is a selfish endeavor that doesn't fucking affect anything
>>7571286
I wouldn't call them bleeding heart protest books, exactly.
Good job asshats. your meme powers misfired and now you've killed David bowie
>>7571286
>When will people realize that art is a selfish endeavor that doesn't fucking affect anything
since forever? not everyone wanks over how politically active they are
btw when will you realize shitposting is a selfish endeavour etc etc
>>7571286
you're a simpleton

Snicker'd
I don't think Gene Wolfe is sick or anything, but he's SO old. I'm terrified I'll learn he's died without sending him a happy birthday letter or meeting him at a convention.

ocean full of bowling balls was great
>>7570526
Those people largely don't even know who Pynchon is, at best they'll have seen Inherent Vice of his cameo on the Simpsons. Why worry about them?
And what's all this shit about Pynchon's wife running with his stuff after he dies? She's his agent, it's literally her job to take care of his legacy.
