Cujo reference?

[Ted Brautigan]

On page 234 Holly mentions that Round Here's concert tour was sponsored by Sharp Cereal. Is this a shoutout to Cujo?

That was my first thought also.

I noticed that one too. There is also a reference to "Sewickley" which was one his stops on the current tour.

 

[AchtungBaby]

I didn't even notice that one (and I'm pretty good at catching the connections)! Neat!!

Cujo was fresh in my mind as I read it a few months ago!

 

[Walter Oobleck]

yeah, the Smaug was a laugh out loud moment. something about spreading his wings?

 

[skimom2]

Indubitably

Spoiler: by Jove

I think you're right Ted

 

[notebookgirl]

I thought that too when I heard it! I finally finished the book on audio. It took me many months!! I didn't want to open the copy I got from the book tour!

 

[Bardo]

Too me the whole Sharps cereal campaign made the book!

I also think Jud Crandall makes a Cujo reference in Pet Semetary.
