LPPM MMV "Fisher of Souls"

[Dave Monroe]

   "'Only a matter of time,' he said.  'Tonight.  Of
course.  Why.  Why not.  Pig foetus.  Symbol.  God,
what a symbol.  And now.  Freedom.  Deliverance,' he
screamed.  'Genie.  Bottle.  Century after century,
until Siegel, fisher of souls, pulls the cork.'  He
began running around the room.  'Raincoat,' he said,
picking up a raincoat off the sofa, 'shaving gear.' 
He disappeared into the kitchen for a moment, came out
with an overnight kit in his hands wearing the
raincoat.  He paused at the door." (MMV, p. 3)


Huh?  Joyce?  Beckett?  Okay ...

"fisher of souls"

As he was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two
brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother
Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were
fishermen. He said to them, "Come after me, and I will
make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4: 18-19)
