M & D Duck Read. Serendipity

[Mark Kohut]

ON Bonk, p. 58.  (Or why I love Pynchon, declared yet again.)

I JUST NOW learned from a review that bonk has an English connotation,
these days anyway.

"Time was when a romantic hero could be a soldier or a doctor or,
heaven help us, a priest. But in the age of Jilly Cooper and Judith
Krantz he had better be a polo player. Work is for pigs, and anyone
without enough money to coat themselves in leisure had no place in a
Krantz novel. There was something nouveau about the new bonkbusters
that perfectly suited the times."

I don't quite see this re P's Bonk....but fun anyway.
