The invitation to dinner had been printed on odd colored paper, and to make the presentation even more mysterious than usual, the paper itself was a size not normally found in the United States. The size of the paper could be found in France or Spain, for example, but it simply was not cut that size in America. However, the startling aspect of the dinner invitation was increased when, upon arrival, I noticed that the party was seated at a peculiar glass table and chairs. What made this arrangement completely outside my experience was the deliberate attempt to jar my senses loose and make me think disturbing thoughts about how important it is to not create angular objects. Of course, the final disturbance, if I may put it that way, was the outrageous shape of the salmon; it was perfectly square.
