Krish-Kneel "Dinner with Dylan", "Last Chance Saloon", "Buena Vista Vineyard", "The Many Lives of Nora Seed"
Stopped at Page 205.
in this set of chapters, we get Nora's experience of a very rudimentary dinner at La Cantina with Dylan, followed by watching Last Chance Saloon with Dylan and his 5+ dogs where she understood this wasnt the life for her. She went on to another life, this time, inspried by the label of a wine bottle she had drunk from, and was with Eduardo, an mexiaan-amiercan she was married with but found that everythhing was an exaggerated falsity, a fake in this life and then... left it too, only to live many, many, many lives and come to a conclusion of great depth and... wisdom bordering insanity and neck-deep in exhaustion.
