Flannery O’Connor’s Peacocks, and Other News
By
Sadie Stein

Anonymouth is a computer program designed to strip text of stylistic markers and, in the words of
The New Republic
, “turn famous writers into anonymous hacks,” should this be your desire.

Salman Rushdie
: “Thomas Pynchon looks exactly like Thomas Pynchon should look … He is tall, he wears lumberjack shirts, and blue jeans. He has Albert Einstein white hair and Bugs Bunny front teeth.”

New York Times
visits
