I'm scratching my head over a self-contained event I just read in an old James Ellroy novel. where a guy takes walk on the beach, encounters 9 hippies who live on the beach. eating dogs, stay wasted on pot and beer, and the naked girls wont put out. The walker sleeps with the prettiest but cant get any. Then the walker leaves.

My name for such writing is WTF EVENTS. What do you call them.

James, the world is a strange place. Did you read far enough to discover where this little episode fitted into Mr Ellroy's story? And did it somehow take the story forward?

I think you'll agree that dog barbecues have a place in almost any story. It's hard to imagine a story where it wouldn't fit in somehow. But like dog turds, you can't just drop them anywhere.
