The story begins with a letter, a will that names our character Oedipa executor of a lot that belonged to her ex-boyfriend. It amazed me how drama evolved from a single way of communication, at first it did not understand it was a letter but as soon as I re-read it I focused on it. I kept reading and I found several mentions of different communication methods, such as the “greenish dead eye of the TV tube.”(pg1), book reviews, and most importantly oedipal husbands work pace a radio station. I have minor dyslexia and as I read the name of the radio station KCUF, I read it backwards and it said FUCK, just like KlIM backwars is MIlK it had to be on purpose. So I Googled it, and to my surprise, it was no mistake that the radio station name was that. I tried reading the explanation to the name of the station, but it was too far on the book. As I read the Google information, I got more interested in the text and concluded that the story revolves around communication. Notice also that some telephone conversations happen. In addition, the story besides revolving around the letter, it is as well revolving around on past conversations Oedipa had with Pierce his ex-boyfriend. Something I might also guess is that when they mention Oedipa´s husband worked at a car-lot, which made me remember the title so I think that this story has to do with the car-lot, because the writer described to extension Mucho´s fear of cars and the place.
