Quote #1
Growing up is serious business. He, Cal, would not be young again, not for anything. And not without sponsors: a mother and father, good fortune. God. (2.75)
Conrad, Calvin's son, has one out of four. We'd say one of four ain't bad, but it is. His mother is emotionally distant, so cross her off the list. He doesn't believe in God. And his brother drowned while he watched. That's the opposite of good fortune. Things aren't gonna be easy for this kid.
