...took up the plastic menu and immediately felt my wallet burning in my pants pocket. An assortment of hamburgers and grilled meats stared back at me with their 20- and 25-peso prices.

I chose the cheapest item on the list, a perro caliente (Spanish for "hot dog"), which went for seven pesos.

Pynchon novels never conclude anyway; they just stop getting longer...
