flea, the way you wrote it is still confusing to me! (The last bit is a reference to the title of another book by Tom Wolfe. But yes, so foofy.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Flea, are you assuming that there is an implied object for "within"?

But those who have never experienced Wolfe’s hyperkinetic narrative style will behold within ample measure of the man in full.
Part of what's confusing is that it took several reads to realize that "behold within" must mean "behold within this book." Of course, Wolfe writes a lot of inexplicable sentences too.

Oh, DUH. That's why I couldn't parse it. I kept tripping over the "of".

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I didn't find it confusing but badly overwritten.
Those who don't know his crazy style will experience it here.
Still bordering on meaningless, IMO.

Aha! I get it now. Sheesh.
Thanks, y'all.

Timelies all!
We had the annual division picture today, followed by individual lab photos. There are two of us in my lab. A third person joined us.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I get it but it sounds like he's about to drop his pants.
