Hal as accomplice; the Weston house (p. 957)
Sex between the Moms and C.T. I imagined as both frenetic and weary, with a kind of doomed timeless Faulknerian feel to it. I imagined the Moms's eyes open and staring blankly at the ceiling the whole time. I imagined C.T. never once shutting up, talking around and around whatever was taking place between them.
Context
Hal imagining Avril's lovers: C.T.'s speech as circumlocution literalized, talk that orbits its subject without ever landing.
