Endnote 160 — What was buried with Himself

endnote

Reveals that the disturbing surviving footage of Clipperton's suicide was among several master cartridges "designated Unviewable by testatory codicil" (p. 1030), and that these cartridges — plus Incandenza's case of special lenses — were "interred right there with J. O. Incandenza's dead body" (p. 1030), a fact known to only a few. His extreme height left room in the casket. The subnote pins the grave to the Mondragon family plot in a Québec cemetery just over the border from the Concavity.
