After finally getting into the style, the story sadly didn't amount to much. Basically he prepares a meal for his aunt who is also his Italian teacher. He's mortified however to learn that lobsters are boiled alive. It seems like a odd, non-important conclusion to me. But Belacqua at least was interesting, reminding me at times of Ignatius Reilly from A Confederacy of Dunces.
