![]() The whole scene where he organizes the local gay community thinking he's unleashing his manifesto but they turn it into a dance party once they decide he is 'a flop' was great. Particularly the last one: his idea of a "pervert squadron" that could help solve foreign conflict because gays are more loyal to each other than country barriers was so funny and misguided, particularly in how he is kind of homophobic and yet believes they can be weaponized for political good. His misadventures in working as a hot dog man, infiltrating a strip club, trying to get Levy pants workers to organize (but not in a functional way, more in a paternalistic theological way), and trying to make flamboyant gay people a political weapon as just hilarious. Ignatius is such a memorable character: formally educated but with an extreme failure to launch, and ideas that come from education but not practical wisdom (thinking Boethius and divine right of kings is still relevant praxus), and neuroses and eccentricities in spades. ![]() It's a fascinating book, that's for sure. ![]()
