CoL49-Revelation & chapter 5 beginning

[Mark Kohut]

Few miscellaneous things in Chap 5..

line on 81...dream: Mucho "making love to her on a soft white beach that
was not part of any California she knew"
another indication of a new world of Oedipa's......wakes up
exhausted,,,,,which is NOT the usual way one wakes up
from an erotic dream.....but maybe as a woman it can be?     BUT, it seems
it was not erotic then.....

p. 81......$12.50 in the mid-sixties would now be about $125.....inflation
is about ten times.....pretty expensive book....
comparable books of plays like that in paperback in the sixties when I was
a bookseller were uner $2 to maybe $2.50
