Epigraph
Life is not a spectacle or a feast: it is a predicament.
—SANTAYANA
Dedication
For each true friend of Travis McGee
First words
I was in deep sleep, alone aboard my houseboat, alone in the half acre of bed, alone in a sweaty dream of chase, fear, and monstrous predators.
Quotations
I did not think I could placidly endure another gleaming salesman tell me that I had to have quadrophony sound, coming at me from all directions. I have never felt any urge to stand in the middle of a group of musicians. They belong over there, damn it, and I belong over here, listening to what they are doing over there. Music that enfolds you, coming from some undetectable set of sources, is gimmicky, unreal and eminently forgettable.
