Deleuze and Guattari would be proud.  Does postmodernism allow us to
retrospectively credit TP with being the first to use the body without
organs as a protagonist?  This begs the question, is TRP a pranoiac

paranoia?  Hmmm...do I smell a thesis in the works, or just the cruel toll
of eight hours at a data entry job?
