BEER GRoup Read. More on style

[Mark Kohut]

All those incomplete sentences. "Couple years in fact" p.8 for example...shorthand communication. The times. 
 
P can play verbally masterfully with word concepts and does. I was immediately taken with his 'back in what still 
isn't quite the Day"...about Maxine's separation from Horst......as in his varieties of WTF?, I had never thought
that "back in the Day' meant anything more than a past time...he gives it a meaning of Completed Time.....
Done, Over...
 
And, speaking of stereotype use, I loved the line where Maxine says to the guy in the LI bar (much later), "he laughed
merrily, as poly-poly men do"....P IS having fun, satirizing even the narrator's 'vision'.....
 
And then there is the toilet trope....Money as shit (from GR via NO Brown; Lew Basnight learning his truths).....
from seeing the Arabs in a room marked Toilet to the other toilet meetings, P keeps this trope rolling merrily along.
