DEDICATION For You, GOD'S BITS OF WOOD, and for my comrades in the unions.
I already am eating from the trash can all the time. The name of this trash can is ideology. The material force of ideology makes me not see what I am effectively eating. ~Slavoj Zizek

Two one-quart mason jars filled with a pale beige liquid
Kadare was horrified when he heard that Pipa planned to assert that /Chronicle in Stone/ contained a coded message about the sexual preference of the country's Guide. He honestly thought that Pipa wanted to get him arrested and shot. A long drawn-out polemic ensued, with attack bringing counterattack, until the whole murky business became known as the "Pipi-Kaka Affair." It is no longer remotely dangerous to mention the probable sexual proclivities of a long-dead Stalinist — but it also now seems crazy to believe that this fine and complex novel contains any coded message on the subject.
