Joelle's walk: the anti-ad and U.H.I.D. — "As she remembers things Jim was…"
As she remembers things Jim was, besides a great filmic mind and her true heart’s friend, the world’s best hailer of Boston cabs, known to have less hailed than conjured cabs in spots where Boston cabs by all that’s right just aren’t […] something in the authority of the lifted arm’s height, the oncoming taxi undergoing a sort of parallax as it bore down over tumbleweed streets, appearing under Incandenza’s upraised palm as if awaiting benediction.
Context
Joelle's eulogy-in-passing gives the theme its warmest sentence — "a great filmic mind and her true heart's friend" — and then can't help shooting the memory optically: the conjured cab arrives "undergoing a sort of parallax," an effects shot in her grief. Even her mourning is done in camera terms.
