Short story:

Bob Dylan is inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters at a ceremony in the Academy's headquarters in Upper Manhattan, New York City, USA. This is the first time a musician has been chosen as an honorary member of the Academy, but Dylan is unable to attend the ceremony. Instead he sends a letter of thanks, confirming that he is "looking forward to meeting all of you, sometime soon."
