Shaun has a dialog with (I think) either "the People" or with an Incubus - maybe both. And he holds forth on a variety of subjects, including an Aesop's Fable - the Ant and the Grasshopper. This fable is elaborated very humorously (and I do mean elaborated.
This chapter seems to be playing out in real time, not throughout all of history at once and in a fairly straightforward manner, as a dialog. Shaun is asked questions and he answers them.
There's a lot of funny quotes, like "In the name of the former and of the latter and of their holocaust. Allmen"
Shaun is questioned about the letters and he dissembles. About this time, Shem shows up and they begin to dispute.
The language of this chapter, so far is fairly legible as it is all spoken and it doesn't go into a lot of diversions, diatribes and descriptions - it is relatively easy to follow and not get absolutely lost.
