The Lot 49 page from a large Wiki put together by fans of Pynchon's work. Yup: Pynchon is complicated enough to need his own Wiki.

A slightly more critical (and down-to-earth) review of Pynchon's book.

A video about how Pynchon had an actor speak for him when Gravity's Rainbow won the National Book Award in 1973.

Though Pynchon is a famous recluse—and hasn't done an interview in years—that didn't stop him from agreeing to a brief cameo on The Simpsons. Priorities, man.

You don't have to go to Yale to hear what one of their English professors thinks about Thomas Pynchon's book.
