"Rod Steiger's dream journal?" Referencing Rod's title-role performance in "The Illustrated Man", mayhap? If so, brilliantly arcane.....:)That's what I figured it referred to. And yes, "brilliantly arcane" is a very good description.

He is probably only one of seven people in the U.S. who know about "Pliny the Elder."

It's also my favorite type of "wit".
That's what I love about Miller.
As soon as I read that I envisioned Steiger sleeping fitfully; the young man staring with ever-increasing horror and fascination as Steiger's tattoos writhed with a fire-lit life of their own.
Perfect imagery....:)
