There is Geary pouring his (Camusian, if you must, Wager) heart out and we
(Yost incl.) not taking him seriously. But seriously (don't you hate that
parenthetical. As much as I hate 'honest' --), it's a thought provoking (don't
you hate that cliche) dilemma:
Hearing aid or treatment for Aloysha's heart worm?
Variations:
"She asked me
for advice."
But "all advice I give is conditional" (Ritchie).
I was trying to find a scenario where the poetic voice (for why should we
assume it's Geary, Wager?) ends up _shooting_ the advice-requester, but my
imagination is never that florid. Plus, why get yourself into trouble.
So a different scenario was 'crap-shooting'.
"I have a better plan. Give me the 2,800
and the dog -- I'll take care of both; your
hearing is perfect to _me_."
Next day, 'Geary' (the poetic voice) was seen in Tonica shooting the crap.
Cheers,
J. L.
He said 197 pages to go. I'm impatient.
