Maybe? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure in my head that makes sense, but until I actually start mapping them out, I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be completely positive.<\/p>\n<p>We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re back to Hal again, and DFW immediately drops us into his fantastically fluid style of dialogue as Hal is forced to sit in a meeting of some sort with a professional conversationalist. If that very concept seems absurd to you, then DFW certainly delivers on that aspect, giving us one of two entertaining and hilarious passages we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be covering today. Hal is hyper-aware of his surroundings, has a nearly photographic memory, and interacts with every adult (so far) with an ongoing sense of contempt. Right off the bat, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wondering why on earth he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s even talking to this man:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcBut I rode my bike all the way up here against the wind just to converse with you? Is the conversation supposed to start with me asking why?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And a fine question indeed. (FUCK BIKING INTO THE WIND, BY THE WAY.) What transpires, then, is a battle of wits, as the professional conversationalist slowly begins to realize what a handful Hal actually is.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll begin by asking if you know the meaning of <em>implore<\/em>, Hal.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcProbably I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go ahead and take a Seven-Up, then, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to implore.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll ask you again whether you know <em>implore<\/em>, young sir.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcYoung sir?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcYou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re wearing that bow tie, after all.

(Who is she?) (Also, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s O.E.D. again.) At first, it seemed that Hal was being contrary for the sake of it, but as this section continued, I got the distinct sense that maybe he couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t actually help it. Words and phrases that the conversationalist spoke triggered any number of tangents and Hal made it appear as if he almost <em>had<\/em> to talk about those things.<\/p>\n<p>Hal refers to his dad as Himself. Ok.<\/p>\n<p>He really likes Seven-up. Who doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t? (Ok, admittedly, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a long time since I had any, but that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a separate point. I <em>used<\/em> to love it quite a bit.)<\/p>\n<p>Hal has a healthy distrust for things. I like that.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI know only one person who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d ever use <em>full-bore<\/em> in casual conversation.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThere is nothing casual about a professional conversationalist and staff.

I thought you wanted to talk racy mosaics.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>HAL, I LOVE YOU. The conversation (professional or casual) quickly turns to Hal dismantling as much of the focus as possible. (A side note: I feel like the conversationalist\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s reference to the Quebec conflict is important, especially since it relates to Hal and his family, but since it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so early, I have about a 1% certainty that I know what it means.) Once it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s clear the conversationalist has been properly offended and feels the need to justify who he is and what he does, Hal resorts to what can best be called as trolling, using a selection of well-placed bits of inanity to further piss off this man.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcGee, is that the exit over there I see?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWould it be rude to tell you your mustache is askew?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcAs a matter of fact I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go ahead and tell you your whole face is kind of running, sort of, if you want to check.

But with a younger brother, named Mario, and a phone call from another brother, Orin. Mario asks a lot of questions, but not as many as he will soon.<\/p>\n<p>DFW likes to write from the very distinct point of view of his characters, doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t he? His styles only match when they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re from a specific point of view.<\/p>\n<p>Hmmm.<\/p>\n<p>I like Mario.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YEAR OF THE DEPEND ADULT UNDERGARMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just in general?<\/p>\n<p>To further the idea that DFW specifically adapts his style to his character, the entire next section, which was a bit difficult to get through, completely meshes with what this character seems like. The sentences are long, filled to the brim with what seems like an endless number of clauses, going on and on in banal, minute, and specific terms. It reads like a legal document, one the attach\u00c3\u00a9 it focuses on might actually write himself. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s particular. Detailed. It lays things out logically, one after the other, as if it is obeying some unspoken textbook of grammatical rules and professional formats.<\/p>\n<p>Will he have something to do with southern Quebec? Hmmm.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, this section is an introduction of sorts to the ordered and robotic life of the attach\u00c3\u00a9, whose wife is less of a wife than something to be planned for and planned around. We get much more focus on those entertainment cartridges mentioned earlier and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m curious as to how they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll play into the story. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no live television in this fictional world? Is everything planned out through these cartridges?<\/p>\n<p>The attache\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s anger is expressed through complicated diction:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>So on 1 April, Y.D.A.U., when the medical attach\u00c3\u00a9 is (it is alleged) insufficiently deft with a Q-Tip on an ulcerated sinal necrosis and is subjected at just 1800h. to a fit of febrile thrushive pique from the florally imbalanced Minister of Home Entertainment, and is by high-volume fiat replaced at the royal bedside by the Prince\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s personal physician, who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s summoned by beeper from the Hilton\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sauna, and when the damp personal physician pats the medical attach\u00c3\u00a9 on shoulder and tells him to pay the pique no mind, that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just the yeast talking, but to just head on home and unwind and for once make a well-deserved early Wednesday evening of it, and but so when the attach\u00c3\u00a9 does get home, at like 1840h., his spacious Boston apartments are empty, the living room lights undimmed, dinner unheated and the attachable tray still in the diswasher and \u00e2\u20ac\u201cworst\u00e2\u20ac\u201dof course no entertainment cartridges have been obtained from the Boylston St. InterLace outlet where the medical attache\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wife, like all the veiled wives and companions of the Prince\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s legatees, has a complimentary goodwill account.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One amazing sentence. DFW makes it sound like it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the end of the world. I love it.<\/p>\n<p>As for what those cartridges hold, it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make it any easier to understand what they are when we finally get some examples:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>There is an O.N.A.N.M.A. Specialty Service film on actinomycete-class antibiotics and irritable bowel syndrome.

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going to say that it does make me uncomfortable that a white dude uses ebonics like this, but, on the surface, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually quite good at it. I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like that the Infinite Summer guide said that the section was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153potentially offensive (if one wants to be offended)\u00e2\u20ac\u009d because\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.yeah, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not how it works.

Wardine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s story is convoluted, sure, but to me, it sounds like her mother is worried about her daughter\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s safety because of a man named Reginald. (Wardine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s boyfriend, yes?) Wardine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mother beats her, and beats her often. And then Roy Tony might kill them all?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and Wardine is pregnant. Hmm. I think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll revisit this section later when we learn more.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Green\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s story wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that interesting to me. He fell for Mildred Bonk, who grew up in high school to become (basically) one of the cool kids. And Bruce changed in order to impress her. And \u00e2\u20ac\u0153for a while life was more or less one big party.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>DFW sure is introducing a whole lot of characters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YEAR OF THE DEPEND ADULT UNDERGARMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mario is my favorite character so far. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not hard to take this next segment and substitute in a younger brother or sister or cousin or niece or nephew and imagine the endless game of questions that we play. Since we move back to Hal, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also back to DFW\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dialogue style, which might help accent why this section is also quite entertaining.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcHey Hal?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dc\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcHey Hal?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s late, Mario.
