I have run across alot of Thompson fans that consider this
their favorite and Thompson's best. It was part of my recent
re-reading of Thompson
(1.Getaway). The theology thrown in pop 1280 is interesting
but I just don't know what he was saying exactly with that.
The reference on the first page to kingdom come foreshadows
Corey's later belief in himself as christ returned. On the
last page Thompson has Corey as christ saying love one
another and don't screw anybody unless they are bent over and
maybe this is a Thompson message given close to the end of
his writing life. I don't know. I've thought about it and
thought about it and then I thought some more and I have come
to a decision. I don't know what Thompson was trying to say
no more than if I was just another lousy human being!
Paul Miller if you haven't read pop 1280 that last line will
make no sense.
