Anna Deavere Smith...

[davemarc]

...presented a typically fascinating lecture at NYU in, uh, December, I
think?  She alluded to Pynchon (using Cornell West's voice) as well as
Pomona.  C-Span just ran it; you may want to check C-Span's website to find
out if and when it'll appear again.

For those who haven't heard of her:  She's a
professor/playwright/performance artist/MacArthur Grant Recipient who
specializes in interviewing people and then performing them.  (As far as I
know she has not interviewed Pynchon.)
