At one point Prairie thinks that it's kinda like a scrapbook that
someone's eccentric hippie uncle might keep, but she discovers that its
more than a mere scrapbook. Is it an obsession? Whose? Kinda like
Hector's obsession with Frenesi and film? Is it an addiction? When  DL
was younger she was in it for the action, the ass kicking, kinda like
her father ... she drank ... took drugs ... was street wise ... Maybe
The Hunchback can tell us more.
