ah, a quick question for yiz pynchon scholars:
in gravity's rainbow (penguin great books of the 20th century edition)
there is a passage where someone (and I forget who) is eating shit,
it's a page of glorious shit-eating which startlingly, seamslessly
follows a passage on other kinds of boiled european foodstuffs on a
plate--and it's fairly late in the book. the passage ends with the
information that the sounds of the crud chewingis the only sound in
the room--kind of similar to the sound of a dog eating peanut butter.
not sure if I added this detail from my own depraved storehouse or if
its pynchon, but surely, surely, one of you great people can point me
to the right page.
thanks in advance, and sorry to assault you with this. (the stakes are
not major, but not minor either)
all best,
tony antoniadis
