“it was like certain dinners I remember from the war. there was much wine, an ignored tension, and a feeling of things coming that you could not prevent happening. under the wine, I lost the disgusted feeling and was happy. it seemed they were all such nice people.”

there are undertones of dissatisfaction, wrongness, and sadness that ebb and flow throughout the book. they crop up every time i forget to expect it

the whole book is him gracelessly exiting conversations, i want a thousand more pages of only that
