Za Gravity's Rainbow, Pynchon je 1973. osvojio Nacionalnu nagradu za književnost SAD-a za fikciju .[4]
Porijeklom sa Long Islanda, Pynchon je služio dvije godine u mornarici Sjedinjenih Država i stekao diplomu engleskog jezika na Univerzitetu Cornell . Nakon što je objavio nekoliko kratkih priča kasnih 1950-ih i ranih 1960-ih, počeo je da komponuje romane po kojima je najpoznatiji: V. (1963.), Plač lota 49 (1966.) i Duga gravitacije (1973.). Njegov roman Urođeni porok iz 2009. adaptiran je u istoimeni dugometražni film redatelja Paula Thomasa Andersona 2014. godine. Pynchon je notorno povučen od medija; objavljeno je nekoliko njegovih fotografija, a glasine o njegovoj lokaciji i identitetu kruže od 1960-ih, iako je sebe izrazio u dvije epizode Simpsona . Pynchonov najnoviji roman, Bleeding Edge, objavljen je 17. septembra 2013.
