PS a pretty rich and fruity sauce is simmering away in the kitchen.
PPS I've always thought the reason Gravity's Rainbow replaced "Mindless
Pleasures" as the title of P's great work is that "Mindless Pleasures" would
have enabled hostile critics to write it off as
just-another-book-about-drugs. GR IS one of the great books on altered
states of mind, chemically induced and otherwise, and IS a book about drugs,
but of course the real point is that it's NOT JUST a book about drugs.
