Status Updates From The Orpheus Process

"The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, and so does Helmond."

People- these are actual quotes from the book. And that is not even a joke or something out of context. It's just a plain old quote. But just randomly put your finger down anywhere in this book, and you get something like this!

"He hated to admit it, but his assistant was a better lover than his wife. Well, she was number two so she tried harder. And how she had tried! He hadn't come so many times in one night since his college days. Yet not one promise had she tried to get out of him."

"Who ever would have predicted it? ... This bra-burning, sign-carrying, protest-marching militant feminist reduced to a superdrudge. ... And she had to admit it: She just plain liked keeping a home."

Who can blame her, what with being married to that irresistible, brilliant superstud LEN HELMOND?

"Dinner was quiet, perhaps just a bit too quiet, though not really awkward."

Oh THE ORPHEUS PROCESS, when you're not mansplaining I do love your sensitive side.

"The resurrected monkey lying before him was Argus and all pets who had ever lived and met their end between asphalt and the internal combustion engine."
