One of the few known photographs of Pynchon (1957)

Thomas Pynchon is an American writer based in New York City. He is noted for his dense and complex fictions. After publishing several short stories in the late 1950s, he began composing the novels for which he is best known today: V. (1963), The Crying of Lot 49 (1966), Gravity's Rainbow (1973), Vineland (1990), and Mason & Dixon (1997). Pynchon is widely acclaimed as among the finest of contemporary authors; he is a MacArthur Fellow and a recipient of the National Book Award, and is regularly cited as a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Both in his fiction and non-fiction his writing encompasses a vast array of subject matter, styles and themes, including (but not limited to) the fields of history, science and mathematics. Pynchon is also known for his avoidance of publicity: very few photographs of him have ever been published, and rumors about his location and identity have circulated since the 1960s. (continued...)

An animated 3D image showing how a zipper slider works. The slider, which is operated by hand, moves along the rows of teeth. Inside the slider is a Y-shaped channel that meshes together, or separates, the opposing rows of teeth, depending on its direction of travel. The zipper, originally called a "hookless fastener", was invented in 1913 by Gideon Sundback. "Zipper" was originally a trademark of the B.F. Goodrich Company for the line of rubber overshoes that it made using the fastener, but the term became associated with the fastener and acquired generic status.
