Because of the things that went on inside Bloom's head, writing has not been quite the same again; since he had his big, long, exhausting day, something called the interior monologue has rattled around inside many an emptier head. The latest victim of the idea that anything and everything goes, especially on paper, is an American named James Patrick Donleavy, whose cross-pollination with Bloom has produced a rank Jimson weed. Its name: Sebastian Dangerfield, chief character...
