Dick Lochte wrote <snip>: The name "Peyton" is probably
a nod (conscious, self-conscious or otherwise) to "Peyton
Loftis," the downwardly spiraling protagonist of William
Styron's brilliant "Lie Down in Darkness."
********************* Thanks for putting it in context, Dick.
Based on everybody's comments, I think I'm going to pass on
Ms Janowitz. I didn't mind Bret Easton Ellis's AMERICAN
PSYCHO. I actually thought it was amusing and funny in a
satirical sort of way, but nothing to really write home
about. I wonder in Tosches fits in this same category.
The Peyton reference couldn't stretch all the way back to
Grace's PEYTON PLACE, could it? It was a major affair when it
was written.
Thanks, miker
