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.

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.

Geoff "Assuming then that the two antagonists, good and evil, are inextrically locked, in Spinozic terms, in the psyches of the two tower climbers, huffing and puffing, there is nothing for a self-respecting Prime Mover to do but harness the powers of the cosmos in order to assert his infinite rights, not only to his absolute hemegony over monism but also over plurism. And so what is the only recourse, the only route left to this brute force that oversees the entire shebang? Mind you, I speak not of the Prime Mover of Thomists’ ideas, but the entire absolute idea of all things, the Supreme Chief!

Holy shit! Big Duck says."

Well, that's a weird coincidence. I just started reading this book myself last night.

Geoff Anthony, it's really making me uncomfortable that you're reading this at the same time that I am. Every time I sit down to "engage" with this book, I think of your big mauve eyes scansioning a sentence halfway across this bold beautiful country and I can't concentrate. Sometimes I think I sense on the wind the thudding of mauve blood pulsing through your veins. Please stop reading, or at least read something else, until I have finished this book and written a review that gets 14 to 16 'likes'.

No worries. I’ll slip on a pair of the UV killers and go back to reading Amis for a spell.
