Chapter 29 Summary

"Take Me to Your Blender"

Tully heads into the Belly of the Beast where the big party is taking place. A hostess tells Tully that Dawn and Noel-Christmas are at the bar with Renaldo. He heads over and joins them at the bar. Dawn introduces him to Edward and Rentzel, two men from New York, and they go to eat. Dawn takes Tully into a cave-like room and they sit on pillows. There is lots of food and champagne; she explains that this is an apology for the day before and they toast to "jungle encounters" (pg. 271). Later they join up with Noel-Christmas and go to a foam party.

Chapter 29 Analysis

Continuing with the idea of the "calm before the storm," Tully is unwittingly heading straight into the storm. Dawn's seduction of him prevents him from seeing where he is headed.
