Sorry about the grotesque imagery. I just can't get over Saul Bellow's use of words. The words in this sentence I've quoted are all words ESL kids learn in junior high school. And yet, with such simple words, and few, he creates a grotesque image. That's economy of language!
(...next time I'll try to pick an image of beauty...)
