After the more surreal introduction, where death, holocaust, war,
evacuation are all inter-meshed... the players dust themselves off the
floor and get back to their organized death rituals... but not before they
have their reprieve... a la Pirate Prentice's Banana Breakfast...

In this section we get to know Prentice, a sort-of character that could
have doubled in a Graham Greene novel... It would be interesting to know
what the group as a whole thinks of Pirate Prentice?

There is something redemptive about this coming together, as in many of
Pynchon's work, he can find some redeeming qualities inevitable in
entropy...
