<p>Now in its third year, we invite you to submit, on Twitter via the #Pynchon2013 hashtag, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/163564200474896/?fref=ts">Facebook Event page</a> or even just by emailing me, your photographs for <a href="http://www.pynchoninpublic.com">Pynchon in Public Day 2013</a>!</p>
<p>The event was founded to mark the birth date of one of the most important living American writers, Thomas Pynchon. Taking place every May 8th, the event ironically celebrates Pynchon's lack of public persona by inviting his fans to photograph themselves, in public, reading his work or undertaking (legal!) activities related to his books.</p>
<p>We hope you'll join us!</p>
