Amusingly, Robert Anton Wilson claims in his book "Everything is
Under Control: Conspiracies, Cults, and Cover-Ups," the following:
"It has even been suggested that Pynchon is a pen name for T.C. May
(see Crypto Anarchy)."
The fact that both TRP and myself lived in the small coastal town of
Aptos during the same years is mere coinci-dance. The fact that
Wilson lives in a nearby town, Capitola, is another coinci-dance. The
fact that his daughters live on the ridge opposite mine is also
coinci-dance. The fact that Dr. Bob Newport, one of the original
slackers, lives nearby is also just an example of there being a lot
of slack in this area.
(The true site for much of "Vineland," not the Mendocino forests so
often claimed. Wanda Tinasky lives!)
