timeline_event

pivotal · ~Nov 2001 (pre-Subsidized)

When: shortly before the pre-Subsidized Thanksgiving, ~Nov 2001
What: Orin introduces Joelle to his father over supper at the Chestnut Hill Legal Seafood (the boniface knows Dr. Incandenza and brings a double bonded unasked, n.309); JOI slumps when Orin says she majors in Film/Cartridge Studies; Jim later tells her she'd seemed "too conventionally, commercially pretty" to consider using in that period's anti-prettiness Work.
