Proclivities wrote: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.

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. I like that quote. I haven't read any of that author's novels. I think I'll start with this one. Movie trivia: I believe that book makes a "cameo appearance" in a diner scene in Scorsese's After Hours.
