    Thoughts from 75% (page 474)

    Chapter 7 "Slowly, slowly, with a drugged, fathomless calm, Henry bent and picked up a handful of dirt. He held it over the grave and let it trickle from his fingers. Then, with terrible composure, he stepped back and absently dragged the hand across his chest, smearing mud upon his lapel, his tie, the starched immaculate white of his shirt." I loved the ending of this chapter. Henry smearing dirt on himself as they buried Bunny could be analysed in many different ways. However, what truly unsettled me was the chilling detachment and numbness in Richard's perspective as he recounts the funeral. His emotional distance makes Bunny's death even more haunting.

    Chapter 6 "Some things are too terrible to grasp at once. Other things - naked, sputtering, indelible in their horror - are too terrible to really ever grasp at all. It is only later, in solitude, in memory, that the realization dawns: when the ashes are cold; when the mourners have departed; when one looks around and finds oneself - quite to one's surprise - in an entirely different world." Donna forces us to linger endlessly with the weight of the killing, stretching out the aftermath into a prolonged hunt for Bunny, making us wait for an outcome we already know is inevitable. And all that's left behind it is an old, lonely tennis shoe...
