Thomas Pynchon’s niece takes a different tack

Famed novelist Thomas Pynchon had a sister, and she had a kid, and that kid grew up to be an attractive young woman who writes, directs, and occasionally stars in some very scary sounding pornography. Last year, she released her newest effort, which gives seven porn stars a chance to indulge in their wildest fantasies (even wilder than normal, natch). She invited Pynchon to the premiere. Details here.

No word if the famously-reclusive, Long Island-living novelist answered the call. He did attend her college graduation from Wesleyan. It’s uncertain he wants to be seen in public, much less be associated with whatever crazy stuff she’s doing now. But Pynchon fans are watching his moves with interest because he remains America’s great mystery of a promising novelist.
