Bruce Sterling comments frankly and lucidly on sex and death in the La Brea Tar Pits.
I especially like this observation: "It's awe-inspiring to see that much raw menace out of petroleum. Especially when you realize that petroleum is already a necrotic substance made out of the congealed dead."
And that "forensic" painting of the dead Tar Pit woman is amazingly sexy.
