...nuts. This is better, they say, than stretching it out over a whole year. During this time every one else is doing summer jobs, summer excursions, summer festivals, summer refreshments, summer romances, ballgames, movies, life. But for Chem S-20 (with the exception of one or two couples who love through it together...
...that Audran's secret world has brought about the destruction of his own ephemeral constructs, Chris reacts violently to destroy her, just as she (in Chabrolian fashion recalling The Third Lover) selfishly destroyed the tense harmony in which she was an outsider.

Looking with Enderby's eyes we are forced to abandon the old philosophical principle of the duality of good and evil. We find a new duality, an immediate polarity between body -- including brain -- and non-body...
