Thomas Pynchon/YMMV

Embarrassing Middle Name: Ruggles.
Epileptic Trees: It was once rumored that Pynchon and fellow reclusive author J. D. Salinger were the same person; the rumor is less popular now that the latter has passed away.
Genius Bonus / Viewers Are Geniuses: One or the other, depending on the work; whichever it is, he's probably the king of the trope in question.
Memetic Mutation: The Trystero sign from Lot 49, as well as the fun he has with acronyms:

We Await Silent Trystero's Empire
Don't Ever Antagonize The Horn

- Radiohead adopted W.A.S.T.E. as the name of their fan club and online store, in a deliberate Shout-Out to Pynchon.
Paranoia Fuel: Hoo boy.
Squick: Often used symbolically, no less!
True Art Is Incomprehensible
