Dixon, our, um, Lives? are in Danger? Hardly enough to interrupt a perfectly good— Here he is silenc’d by an immense Thunder-Bolt from directly overhead, as their frail Prism is bleach’d in unholy Light. — Saturday Night for, is it I ask you . . . ? his Head emerging at last from beneath a Blanket, Mason? Say, Mason,— are thee . . . ? Mason, now outside, pushes aside the Tent-flap with his head, but does not enter. Dixon. I will now seek Shelter beneath that Waggon out there, d’ye see it?

About Thomas Pynchon
Hailing from Long Island, Pynchon served two years in the United States Navy and earned an English degree from Cornell University. After publishing several short stories in the late 1950s and early 1960s, he began composing the novels for which he is best known: V. (1963), The Crying of Lot 49 (1966), and Gravity's Rainbow (1973). Rumors of a historical novel about Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon had circulated as early as the 1980s; the novel, Mason & Dixon, was published in 1997 to critical acclaim. His 2009 novel Inherent Vice was adapted into a feature film by Paul Thomas Anderson in 2014. Pynchon is notoriously reclusive from the media; few photographs of him have been published, and rumors about his location and identity have circulated since the 1960s. Pynchon's most recent novel, Shadow Ticket, is expected to be published in 2025.
