epilogue EVO FRONTMAN Mark Mothersbaugh has a lot to say about literature. Most famous for his musical talents, both in Devo and as the composer responsible for the sounds of Rushmore, The Rugrats and The Sims 2, Mothersbaugh is also a visual artist who has ventured into painting, drawing and customized ‘art rugs.’ While his exploits in the world of letters have been less well-documented, Mothersbaugh’s literary roots run deep. He spoke with Huffington about his obsessive writing habit, love of Pynchon and secret desire to accidentally run into Jonathan Safran Foer. —Danielle Wiener-Bronner
