...reached through two floors and four rooms of Schwitters' home, with a separate offshoot in the attic. It was as if he had deposited the cells and memories of his own brain, wrought out in a coral of bizarre objects, cabinets and boxes, on the walls of a maze...
...many the book may touch too close to home. Living in our tiny rooms, by turns smoking dope, listening to Dylan, and sleeping, it's all too easy to understand Randy's maze of confusion. Caught swirling in a world out of control, Randy's last scream echoes our own pointless protests. We may have had enough of this replay of our own lives, especially now when we have a sense of the beginning and the end of what was once full of buoyant hope. I just don't know anymore.

...trail is like a 4,000-mile spider web, a tangled maze of routes ranging from yard-wide footpaths to short sections of gravel-paved highway two lanes wide.

Smarmy beggar, this Marler; one would walk a block out of one's way to cut him dead. Put him down in a maze or a sewer and he would run as hard. Michael's social self is pathological. With colleagues, he does not talk, he connives. As for women-including his mistress Rachel Roberts-he never makes love with them but at them. Even his father's death elicits a distorted reaction. The old man has been beaten by a Liverpool Teddy boy. The Irish cronies, suddenly repossessed by memories of the Black and Tans, keen...
