who might cut off his own ear,

Chewing
This essay was so annoying. It rambles of someone who took an edible and then popped a piece of watermelon Hubba-Bubba. The author presents the topic to the audience as if gum was just invented... Felt like listening to someone who JUST caught up on a trend that already made the rounds.

I let it lie on one side of my tongue and tried hard not to chew on it while he showed me around. The house was beautifully renovated and furnished in the modernist style; not a single object lay awry. I kept looking for a place to throw the gum away, but there was none. We sat down, the editor served coffee and I discreetly removed the gum from my mouth and hid it in the palm of my hand
This except could be found in a novella. The attention to specific and peculiar details become tangible... Like we are sharing the experience, But this piece of writing still annoys me...

porridgelike mass
This assimilation allows the writing to reach an expanded audience. The sensual prose resonates within readers who are both familiar and unfamiliar with the specific experience of chewing gum.
