Happy Birthday Thomas Pynchon

Sunday May 4th Thomas Pynchon turns 71 celebration at FreeBird Bookstore in Red Hook

Brooklyn Backyard barbeque and fax-a-thon celebrating America's
greatest literary cipher.

We'll dine on foodstuffs famously vomited by Gravity's Rainbow's Tyrone Slothrop: burgers, homefries, chef's salad with French dressing, Moxie, after-dinner mints, Clark bars, saltedpeanuts, and "the cherry from some Radcliffe girl's old-fashioned."


And yes, we'll be faxing birthday greetings to the great elusive one via the miracle of outmoded technology.


Here are two examples of faxes sent to T.P.>>>>>>
