Tonight, New York City's P&T Knitwear will host critically acclaimed author and unbelievably notorious recluse Thomas Pynchon for a conversation around his life and works, moderated by Don DeLillo, recipient of the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters and, most notably, the author of the novel End Zone. Seating is limited; tickets, priced at $1,000,000 each (includes signed copy), are available here. All guests are encouraged to wear masks.
Pynchon is the author of V.; The Crying of Lot 49; Gravity's Rainbow; Slow Learner, a collection of short stories; Vineland; Mason & Dixon; Against the Day; and, most recently, Inherent Vice. He received the National Book Award for Gravity's Rainbow in 1974.
DeLillo is the author of 17 novels including White Noise, Libra, Underworld, Falling Man, and Zero K. He has won the National Book Award, the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, the PEN/Saul Bellow Award, the Jerusalem Prize, and the William Dean Howells Medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2013, DeLillo was awarded the Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction. --Joseph Demes, P&T Knitwear
