This line is towards the very end of the narrative, and it's because Stoner's mind is transitioning. He no longer lives completely in the present moment. Part of him is moving through a review of his life experiences. It's also clear that the moment of Dave, Stoner and Finch together at the University was a very formative moment for him. After that moment, it's clear that Finch realises the Stoner he knew is gone, or going. Hence, the withdrawal.(less)

“Regent’s Park, Ripe Earth, and the Magic of Theatre That Talks Back: Why Malorie Blackman Still Teaches Me About Love, Race, and Writing”

Where do I even begin with Malorie Blackman?

She was my childhood heroine, full stop. I still remember devouring her books like forbidden fruit at Leyton Library (yes, Sacerdos, Chapter One reference alert). But the true magic moment?

“I love books. I’m giving some hard copies of the Sacerdos Mysteries book away because I think there’s something so brilliant about them. The digitisation trend is the future but people will still want the feel and smell of real books.”
Elizabeth Amisu, Sacerdos

“It was not that he was feckless – more that he had simply not been around the day they handed out feck.”
Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys
