    <body><![CDATA[My favorite scene from this book was where Baldwin uses the layers of detritus in Giovanni's room to describe the his history. It reminded me of a similar scene about the detritus on a character's desk in Gravity's Rainbow. I wonder if one scene influenced another. They are both post WW2 works.]]></body>
