It's a pretty good read, some say (me, for instance) ---
got to kind of Zero Inn (isn't that a bar in Vineland or someplace,
and also isn't that like a Japanese warplane reference also?)...
got to kind of zero in on who is expressing the insights...
at least I think it's important to distinguish insights expressed by
the characters from free-floating insights (and also to [at minimum]
triage those into "sarcastic" "humorous" and "sincere" expressions of
the author's) -------- I don't think that Frenesi's insights nor
Brock's lack validity, just that we should consider the source
I'm still rockin' the wave/beach metaphor, personally...
see the waves, might represent her quest for social justice, and they
drive her up, again and again against the beach of fascism -- but her
quest is like D-Day at Normandy, to really extend the metaphor
