Right. Not to mention, "the sleek hermaphrodites of the law."

Push comes to shove, gender is negotiable depending on the situation- like how many seats are left on the lifeboat just before the Titanic tilts.

PS..the section  included the foot sex between Reg and Maxine. Speaking of
the psychodynamics
of folks under late capitalism.

Just reread this AM the middle section of BLEEDING EDGE, the cop stuff
between Maxine and Heidi.
It is worth all of us rereading, but, of course I always think that. Law &
Order we [some, many, most?]  want, more than
creative anarchy. Our escape from freedom to allude to the title of that
book that influenced the Pynchon
of GR so much.

But this short BE post is to remind and accentuate the pervasive unreal
world, the world of fantasy in our
daily lives which perverts our dreams, which distorts our 'getting'
reality;which perverts our sexual and romantic
lives.......in BE....what late capitalism does. Shows TRP in BLEEDING EDGE.

Bleeding Edge, a premonition of Trump's America, a gently surreal portrait
of the Unreal America that had come to exist.

And money, that unreal current of fantasy that runs everywhere. So much of
it that Gatsby's Unreality is as chump change.
