"“It wasn’t me, brother, sir” Alex whines at his social worker, who has hurried to the local jailhouse. “Speak up for me, sir, for I’m not so bad.”
But Oh Alex, you are so bad and you know it. The opening chapters of this still deliver the shock of the new: a red streak of gleeful evil." — Nov 10, 2017 01:58AM

“Nealon is shook. He has not foreseen any version of this meeting in which he would be sitting in a hotel foyer listening to a man unspooling his whole life in a way that made more sense coming from him than anything he himself had experienced. Such an unbroken telling of it makes him wonder how he has remained so fragmented and disordered to himself. How has he failed to see such continuance? This whole thing falls outside any idea of the life he knows as his own.”

“She thinks suddenly that what has spooked her is not good luck but the vivid fact of luck itself. Even with all her preparation and the long knowledge of the horsemen, her account of the weather and the odds, only preposterous chance could have led to this result. And if there was such good luck in the world, and if it could outpace her own agency and her own knowledge, then bad luck must be the same, and no luck, too. She has been seen and accommodated by luck, and she wants out of its sight line.”
