Good grief, that was heavy going. Anyone else find this one of the most difficult sections of the novel (emotionally)? |

Are we meant to conclude that Matty Pemulis the prostitute is Michael Pemulis's brother? This section mentions a brother "Micky" who was always asleep during the father's visits. After I read this section, I kept thinking there would be some confirmation, and that this horrid childhood background would somehow figure into Pemulis storyline, but unless I missed something I think it's a thread left dangling. |

Michael Pemulis’s “pre-E.T.A. home life was apparently hackle-raising” (p. 154) and he has an "older brother" (p. 551). |

This was a very difficult section to read. I did put the book aside for at least a day after this. Child abuse is very hard to deal with, even in a work of fiction. |
