| One person does, though,
and pretty badly at that. So when he parts with his wife, he says
things like “cut the kids in half.” He says it with audible
horror in his voice, but he also says it like he means it. There’s
no mouse here, no angel, no high-minded monologue about doors that
open or don’t. There’s a guy at the end of his rope saying
terrible things to somebody he loved once, and the things he’s
been saying are things he’s been thinking for so long that the
person he once was, who had the capacity to love another person that
once, has been wholly swallowed by their rhetoric. |
