Horst's office

[alice malice]

Some readers have noticed the toilets and do-lunches, order-ins, take-outs,
etc...in _Bleeding Edge_.  It's Manhattan at the time. Even the kids are
bumping into people and doing lunch.

So Horst bumps into Maxine in a Chicago Bar. A real place. The Magic of it.
So Max does Lunch with Windust in a real place. Been there.
And Max does lunch with Windust's wife, and they discuss her lunch with
Windust's other wife, at Ebbitt.

Now, if you've read Ulysses. Think about it. The food the toilet the waste.
