Gately shot by the Nucks (pp. 607–608)
It’s the bottom eye, grotesquely, that rolls up at Gately. […] Glynn’s got a real severe adtorsion, and the bottom eye is rolled up at Gately with a terrible delirious glitter, the top eye rolling around like a cow’s eye.
Context
Doony Glynn prostrate with diverticulitis: the narration plays his ocular deformity full grotesque — the bottom eye doing the talking — minor-key body-anomaly texture in a scene the veil is about to take over.
