I don't know whether Damon is describing Freud or one of the cleaners at Top B...

I acually found it to be really interesting, it grabbed my attention more so than the Freud article and the fact that I know relatively little about Baktin in general meant that my reading wasn't hindered by knowing 'context'. The opening re-enforced what we were discussing about the definition of 'feast' and allowed a form of reference to go back to but I did find the 'parody' section interesting, but the talk of Rabelais was rather lost on me.
