Thomas Pynchon's BackToConstitution Channel On YouTube


Maybe it's not cool to want to take credit for making this discovery, but I'm not the one who turned his identity into a huge mystery so screw that.

There is not a doubt in my mind that the narrator of the BackToConstitution channel on YouTube is Thomas Pynchon. The themes discussed in his videos match exactly the themes explored in his novels, right down to the idea that "children are rumored to have been kidnapped, tortured and trained to become 'military time travelers' at a boot camp possibly on eastern Long Island". That sentence comes from the NY Times review of Bleeding Edge and could easily be a line from BackToConstitution's Andy Pero series.

I for one am thrilled Pynchon is making YouTube videos because at this age I'm way too lazy to read one of his books...
