When *Gravity's Rainbow* won the National Book Award in 1974, its famously
reclusive author surprised everyone by turning up at the ceremony to
collect the prize. Except that the rambling, shambling figure at the podium
wasn't Thomas Pynchon at all, but a comedian and actor, 'Professor' Irwin
Corey, who had been hired by Pynchon's publisher to impersonate the
novelist. The audience gradually got the joke as Corey, who was once
described by Kenneth Tynan as a 'travesty of all that our civilisation
holds dear and one of the funniest grotesques in America', accepted the
'stipend' on behalf of 'Richard Python'. 'The great fiction story is now
being rehearsed before our very eyes, in the Nixon administration,' Corey
announced. He described *Gravity's Rainbow* as 'a small contribution to a
certain degree, since there are over three and a half billion people in the
world today: 218 million of them live in the United States, which is a
very, very small amount compared to those that are dying elsewhere.'
