This passage about suicidal love sick men is strikingly similar to one in ''Vineland'':

Some specialize in active volcanoes, others in cliff diving, many go for the classier swimming-out-to-sea option. I can put you onto several travel agents who offer Suicide Fantasy packages, if you're interested. (p. 60)
