Bennie Salazar is introduced at the beginning of "The Gold Cure" as being awash in "shame memories". As the day goes on, he begins a list of these memories as a way of eradicating them. Do you think this is a positive way to deal with the memories? What does Bennie think the gold will do for him?
On another note, do you agree with Bennie's opinion that digitization has ruined music?
Bennie feels that music is "Too clear, too clean. The problem was precision, perfection; the problem was digitization, which sucked the life out of everything that got smeared through its microscopic mest." (p. 24 in my version)
