The "fish" bit threw me off a bit, made me think of Jaws; maybe it should've been "deadly cetacean" or something.

Wouldn't want to give it away. Recall, also, that the debate about whether whales are fish or mammals occupied an entire chapter of the book. So the word "fish" was a bit of a clue.

You could walk up and down the main drive any Thursday in the week till doomsday and never meet an expansive soul. Sixty or seventy thousand people — perhaps more — wrapped in woolen underwear and nowhere to go and nothing to do. Turning out mustard by the carload.

Movie trivia: I believe that book makes a "cameo appearance" in a diner scene in Scorsese's After Hours.
