The Free-Lance Pallbearers (1967)
“By it we know what we have murdered. It is the compressed sum of all evidence against us. It is our daily and continuing sin and as such, it stinks and cries to heaven. It is remarkable how we isolate ourselves with it. In special rooms, set aside for the purpose we get rid of it; our most private moment is when we withdraw there; we are alone only with our excrement. It is clear that we are ashamed of it. It is the age-old seal of that power-process of digestion which is enacted in darkness and which, without this, would remain hidden forever.
—Elias Canetti, Crowds and Power We felt so dirty after seeing it that we felt compelled to eat at Senor Picos, a popular Mexican restaurant.
