My dossier on his travels includes New York, California, Mexico, Kansas City (from a forgotten web trawling years ago, the person said they met in a steakhouse but Mr Pynchon wasn't a big beefeater) , and maybe Texas (Dallas, I think, but can't remember the context) but precious little even on those environs. Had read - on this list - that he had a parking lot conversation with Germany's culture minister, presumably in Germany, but have never read of his peregrinating anywhere else.
Is there a source for this?
