There is nothing quite like the banana breakfast in AtD.
The best meal in AtD (per me) is the jail breakfast.
The banana breakfast got me thinking, and taught me a new kind
of pancake.  The jail breakfast made me salivate.

So, did the author come to realize that we are all in jail,
and our feasts are attended by attractive jaileresses?

or does Mexican cooking have spiritual healing capabilities?

Whereas before, he was obsessed with the fecundity of the
jeopardized rooftop and the way war spawns parties?

or do parties spring up like beryllium rods to control the critical mass
of excitation in the body politic?

-- painting with too broad a brush.  Silly questions.

They could be scenes from the same book.  Get some onionskin,
bind all his books together in chronological (of the times treated) order...
The core curriculum for a 4-year honors degree in Western civ (for a school
like that French khagne where Deleuze attended)?
