These two young people have drifted apart, they've put on clothes. Jobs, children, their hair is thin, teeth missing. The usual flatulence, fallen arches, myopia, indigestion, sagging breasts, grey hairs, paunches, on and on.
One thing you have to say for the Doc, Irish Billy says. He's a real romantic guy.
Push ahead, Doc, the Arab says. Push on. Your exemplary tale is so fraughtful of interest that I am aflutter.

The chapters "Arab Stew" and the following "Her Name A Star" are two of the best things I've read in a long time. Top-notch Sorrentino here. See comments below for a quote too long to fit in a paltry status update.

Often he would let fall a lemon or maybe a cucumber and spend a heavenly moment or two on hands and knees to gaze at close range at a knockout housewife's gams. Stockings with dark seams and high heels with thin straps across the top of the instep made him crunch and crush and crumble plumbs peaches and pears to a pulp in his perspirant and palpitating paws.
What? Doc Friday says. You mean nerves?
But exactly.

(This might also be a question directed to the Goodreads community as a whole- if you aren't considering "which Gilbert Sorrentino am I going to read next" then I have to question the future you've mapped out for yourself...)

THIS ☝.
But also "this" as in "this very same which you've begun."
Nathan "No Reviews" wrote: "THIS ☝."Fantastic. Also, you've introduced a whole delicious little new fascinating icon thingy into my life there. What more is there to ask of life?
Geoff wrote: "a whole delicious little new fascinating icon thingy"That's gunna be my THING for a while now ;; you'll know what I mean when I say that I'm just doing my thing.

To be completely unironic for a second, both the musical notation and the yin-yang/infinity thing originally displayed as boxes containing the number 26 over the nujmber 49 or something. So to my credit, I was initially honestly bewildered.

I'm bewildered that you decoded it at all or even that it looks right on my screen ; since I'm html-incompetent and have merely a palate of characters I can click-in via Firefox.
