Utdrag ur boken:
''After all the old women have lain
with the teen-agers when all the
young girls have slept with their old
drunken uncles: after all the black men
fuck all the white ones: when all the
white women kiss all the black ones:
when the guards have raped all the
jailbirds and after all the whores make
love to their grannies: after all the
faggots get their mothers trim: when
Lindbergh sleeps with Bessie Smith
and Norma Shearer makes it with
Stepin Fetchit: after all the dogs have
fucked all the cats and every weather-vane
on every barn flies off the roof to
mount the hogs ... then there'll be a
little love left over for me. And I know
just what it will feel like.'' (145-46)
