Follow-up, or not, on the news?

[Krafft, John M.]

In March or April, the American Academy of Arts and Letters announced
that it would award Pynchon a $100,000 lifetime-achievement award at a
May 23 ceremony it was assumed Pynchon would not attend. I was out of
the country in late May and so might have missed the news, but I have
still not been able to find out whether the ceremony took place,
whether himself attended after all (probably not, or that _would_ have
been news), whether the award was quashed, or what. Does anyone have
solid information?
