It has been described as the \u201cNaples ultra\u201d of Miami splendor. There is teak sawdust in the Oyster Bar, where I began my tour with a screwdriver; the lobby is decked with much gold. That was all I saw. La Nosherie, the Mannikin Pis rumpus room, and the Jupiter Seaside Fungus Collection had to wait for another visit.<\/p>\n<p>What arrested me, ankle-deep in peacock feathers, was a battery of television sets assembled for the inauguration as a \u201cmonument to intercontinental awareness.\u201d Above the lobby fountain, seven sets rose vertically from a spray-shrouded base. On either side of the midmost screen, three others were horizontally aligned, hung by transparent cords from the distant ceiling. No sound from the construction reached the naked ear; but telephones, each equipped with a panel of buttons, connected viewers to the various programs. Stopping to sample this profusion of \u201clight inscribed by light,\u201d I stayed until I had exhausted the repertory.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/4094\/the-sinking-of-the-odradek-stadium-harry-mathews\" target=\"_blank\">The Sinking of the Odradek Stadium<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>in full here; and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ssl.drgnetwork.com\/ecom\/TPR\/app\/live\/subscriptions?org=TPR&amp;publ=PR&amp;key_code=ENAPRFX&amp;type=S&amp;gift_key=GATPRFX\" target=\"_blank\">subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0for digital access to every short story, poem, portfolio, and essay from<em>\u00a0The Paris Review.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harry Mathews died yesterday at eighty-six.
