I confess that I lose my mind with laughter whenever I hit the passage
in Chapter 12, with Horwitz the cabbie. I absolutely know what it is
like to be in the back seat with a lunatic cab driver who has his neck
craned around to look at the back seat rather than at what's in front of
the cab. I can't read that part without laughing out loud! Three
cheers for Horwitz (for Chrissakes)!
