| Clute, Monsignor |
The "notes found in the desk of a New York advertising executive" indicate this religious official believes the pope and president should have prostrated themselves before a wax image of the other [St. Fidgeta & Other Parodies, 29-30].
Clute does not represent anybody real that we can find. There was a movie starring Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland (Klute) but it didn't come out until 1971. There is a Clute, Texas but whether John ever heard of that city, and what it might have meant to him if he had, is impossible to know. Therefore Bowen says to fall back on the usual explanation: he just liked the sound of the name. |
