Frederick Exley Quotes

Mr. Blue's Way Of Death Was Fitting. He Had Been Utterly Corrupted By America, And I Find It Proper That His Carotid Artery Should Have Been Severed By Flak From A Jumbo-sized Can Of Mentholated Shave Cream. Like James Joyce, Who Tried To Bend And Subjugate The Ironmongery Of The Cosmos With Words (wasn't It The Word Joyce Was After?), Mr. Blue Tried To Undo The Empyrean Mysteries With Seedy And His Red Carpet, With His Elevated Alligator Shoes, With The Ardent Push-ups He Seemed So Sure Would Make Him Outlast Time's Ravages, With His Touching Search For Some Golden Pussy That Would Yield To His Lips The Elixir Of Eternal Life. And Like Joyce's Leopold Bloom, Like Quixote, Mr. Blue Had Become The Perennial Mock-epic Hero Of His Country, The Salesman, The Boomer Who Believed That At The End Of His American Sojourn Of Demeaning Doorbell-ringing, Of Faking And Fawning, He Would Come To The Ultimate Sale, Conquer, And Soar.
