TRTR(I.3) Hidden Profits [Epigraph]

[Mark Kohut]

Once again, is it the way this book works?
I recognize my first attempted reading in Morris's 1st para below...

And, I now would make the same suggestion about P's Whole Sick Crew
influence from this book..

David Morris sez: 
It was the overly-stereotypical dialogue of the various members of the
NYC (what I call) Whole Sick Crew that put me off last time I read TR.
It's got to be satire, but not necessarily friendly satire. 

 It seems
very likely to me that V's Whole Sick Crew was inspired by this one in
TR.  

And TRP's depiction of homosexuality in GR isn't too friendly
either.  I think men in their eras were a lot less at ease with
homosexuality in general
