See Baby Luke. See Old Man Bellow in matching turquoise-blue golf-shirt & cap.
Saul Bellow sez: "We might become God's apprentices elsewhere in the universe." Yeah right. I expect that sorta crap from Bellow. But then Amis sez: "And there's a sense in which our bodies return to the cosmos and our ashes will be consumed by the sun when it becomes a red giant in five billion years' time. So there is something mystical in that."...What a crock of fresh hot steaming poo. No, Martin. Actually, there is NOTHING mystical about that. Amis is expressing the same sort of Pollyanna atheism that Carl Sagan used to dish out. Hey fellas---did you know that we're made out of *star stuff*? Whoop-dee-doo. Pass me the Seconal.
