GRGR: Of the Cultivation of Bananas

[LARSSON at VAX1.Mankato.MSUS.EDU]

David Pelovitz notes:
"This is one of the first times in the novel we are given waste
and entropy and end up creating life in the form of bananas.
This also seems to be the first passage which supports
the WvB epigram.  Life is not being extinguished, it is transofrming."

Note too that the transforming element is provided by those "prize Wessex
Saddleback sows," the first of many invocations of the redeeming power
of pigs!
