West is West made a great follow-up to Chan is Missing (1982); in color, and also set in the Bay area and homemade in feeling, its soundtrack featured music from Bombay movies of the day (1987). In the Rolling Stone issue devoted to George Harrison, Keith Richards is quoted as follows: "I draw the line at swamis." Speaking of quotations, the December Harper's magazine has a fantasia on "Kenneth, what is the frequency?" and casts suspicion on one or more of the Barthelme brothers, particularly Donald. I always remember the query, for some reason, as being addressed to Norman, not Kenneth.
