Thanks for this.  I hadn't seen it before.  I like this part best:

<<Perhaps the most interesting tale that Hall has regarding Pynchon is of their
last meeting. It was around 1975 and he hadn't seen the author since the two
chatted at the counter at El Tarasco a couple of years earlier. By chance, Hall
found himself back in Manhattan Beach and met Pynchon on the sidewalk near the
Fractured Cow.

"I was walking down the street and he was walking toward me," Hall said. "Our
paths crossed right in front of a pay phone, our eyes met and we recognized
each other. I asked how he was and at that moment the telephone rang. He looked
at me and looked at the phone, then turned around and ran down the street, and
I never saw him again.">>
