Status Updates From Έμφυτο ελάττωμα

Finished Chapter 11, where Doc’s search for the Golden Fang narrows his search down to a shady dentist office, then goes to Tito’s limo service, where he gets a surprising lead.

Well, this “Golden Fang” mystery is getting deeper and deeper with each chapter, and just like the main character, it’s dazed & confused, but it will eventually solve its own mystery… if it doesn’t trip on its own two feet.

Finished Chapter 10, where Doc goes down to Sunset Boulevard and uncovers something more about Golden Fang.

Man, the Golden Fang moniker and Mickey Freeman’s connection with them is getting deeper and deeper by the minute. Maybe there will be a major twist surrounding “Golden Fang” and Mickey’s involvement, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

Finished Chapter 9, where Doc freaks out at a drug-fueled mansion, meets up with Bigfoot to discuss Coy, watches disturbing footage at Farley’s home, gets down with Liz, and chats with a woman named Clancy and a guy named Boris.

Well this is a big chapter, which I appreciate for its more detailed look into the roughness of the era, more details on Mickey’s disappearance, and a very trippy mansion sequence.

Finished Chapter 8, where Doc get a visit from his relatives, Sauncho comes over for give him more information on the “Golden Fang”, and spots someone familiar at a Nixon rally.

Ok, so we have got a little more detail into the wild world of Inherant Vice, there’s a little tension with Doc’s relatives, a little mystery with the Golden Fang, and some social commentary related to the Nixon era.
