While I love the Peemster's spiel, both to the Incster and postal weight, I would largely disagree with his take on Bob Hope. Much is revealed in Molly Notkin's interrogation. Marathe's story is darkly funny and sad, I think.

Lenz's new look, Orientoid tongues, hilarious chase through downtown Boston, Joelle's dream, Le Jeu du Prochain Train (again!?!) What they found in the same closet that the Antitois were swelling in~

Really potent stuff. Wave bye bye to the Bureaucrat, cognomens and Carrot worship. Anhedonia vs. unipolar dysphoria. Hal, Matty Pemulis, P.T. Krause. Kate Gompert.
"That dead-eyed anhedonia is but a remora on the ventral flank of the true predator, the Great White Shark of Pain".

Some stuff isn't as engaging as other stuff, but then I stop and have to ask myself: well why is it there? If you believe nothing is just "filler" then you start to go further into the why. At the end of the day I really do appreciate this.

H. Steely's tormented memories of M*A*S*H, sex life at E.T.A and chess on the run. Hey and how about the scene at the park with the WYYY engineer! DFW has me on my toes! Big shoutout to the IJwiki site, for making the unknowable knowable~

R. Lenz brings the wrath of the Luau Nucks to Ennet house, Gately steps up and discovers Joelle is Madame Psychosis~

And so the plot thickens HA! As has already been said about IJ there is just so much going on. How about what Pemulis stumbles onto, 'she was blowing on the whistle, which appeared to be minus the little inside pellet because no whistling sound resulted.'
But as a music lover, It was the Bruce Green-Don Ho flashback-freak out that had me captured. 'Creepy slack-key steel guitar balloons across the dim street...'

'I put that poorly. You're not not bright. As in you're incorrect in thinking you have nothing upstairs.'
