pg. 112 in the Penguin Modern Classics edition:

"1 of these days 1 of our sons, perhaps the son of a Polish immigrant, 
will emerge from some steel town in Pennsylvania and mount a turd on the 
wall of a museum and make it stick. . .and when you ask him what it is 
he will put on his dark glasses and snub you the way you did us."

This is, more or less, Andy Warhol, no?

pg. 114: An anachronistic reference to C.L.R. James' "Mariners, 
Renegades and Castaways" (1953), perhaps? Or are there other candidates?
