BtZ42/10 Down the toilet, phases

[János Széky]

65-70 (Viking) A general and personal impression: however much I like this
books, after the brilliance of the passage trough the iron tunnel with its
cameos of fellow students, including Jack Kennedy, and the Dali-like
hyper-realism of the shitwave scene, the "waste regions" and the Western
scenes have always been an anticlimax for me, hitting me as artificial and
pedestrian. It was very trying to translate them. Or is deliberate: with
Jack Kennedy not helping any more, reaching an American desert (both late
60s and Depression-time)?
