Downtown
Downtown is about a man that goes to a place called Downtown. He brings a talking Duck with him, who obviously gets on his nerves. While downtown he spends about 2 days making "various transactions" which involve having sex and discharging charges. In the end of the story he finds out that the Duck is actually a girl. The story does not really explain itself and leaves alot to interpretation from the reader.

Things that we talked about in class that merit further discussion:
ReplyDeleteuse of passive voice i.e. fluids were exchanged
gender construction "oh, the duck is a girl"
right brain/left brain contrast--jazz and religion vs. meretricious (which, I looked up to mean "characteristic of a prostitute"
