The Recognitions
Delectable. Delicious! The best I've ever had. It had everything in it. Everything. Some stuff I couldn’t even identify, but hell, even that tasted good. I believe it took me four months to finish, as some days I had to settle for just a few bites while I chewed and chewed and chewed. But it was well worth it. And that last morsel? Divine. Divine!
The Sot-Weed Factor
I've got this one waiting for me. I just need to finish a couple of appetizers first: The Floating Opera and The End of the Road, which I’m working on right now. Oh, they are whetting my appetite, that’s for sure. I just hope I can survive it, because from what I’ve heard it’s pretty damn funny. And you know it can be dangerous having a laughing fit with your mouth full. Anybody know the Heimlich maneuver?
Gravity’s Rainbow
I devoured this one years ago, yet there are parts I can still taste. A dense, difficult masterpiece. A fair amount of gristle, to be sure, but I just kept chewing and swallowing, and eventually got it down. Recommended side: banana pancakes.
The Tunnel
Watch out for this one, as it could give you gass. It’s an acquired taste, I would have to say; definitely not for everyone. How do you finish this monster? One bite at a time. Chew slowly...slowly...savoring each bilious bite, until it’s absorbed into your guts and brain.
Infinite Jest
I have yet to try this one, but I’ve been gazing at it on the menu for quite some time now. For quite some time. And it’s going down the gullet later this year, make no mistake.
Well, those are just a few examples of mega po-mo's. There's a whole smörgåsbord of others, I know. Care to share a few you've enjoyed? Or some you've been salivating about?
