"Year - end year, end sale, make your year" is the title of this chapter, which is a satire on the end of the year. It's also a reference to the fact that the year is coming to an end, and that people are planning end-of-year parties and shopping trips. This chapter is all about the idea that people can't just forget how old they are. The narrator tells us that people who have forgotten their age are like people who go to power shows without their fathers or mothers. He says that people go tanning salons all the time because they don't want to be reminded of their age. He also says that there are people who work and go to university because they're too young to remember their age anymore. He adds that people tend to be attracted to one another when they've forgotten ten years of their lives. This is just one example of how people forget their age, but it's just one of many.
