Gentle's cancelled address: Hal's American-Falls waste-drum vision
By the time Hal’s envisioned himself tumbling over American Falls at the Concavity’s southwest rim in a rusty old noxious-waste-displacement drum
Context
Anhedonic reverie keyed to the waste-geography: Hal imagines "tumbling over American Falls at the Concavity's southwest rim in a rusty old noxious-waste-displacement drum." The suicide-fantasy vehicle is an E.W.D. barrel and the destination the Concavity's rim — even Hal's private death-image is furnished by the Reconfiguration's apparatus, the waste-drum as the coffin the geography provides. (The anhedonia is depression-anhedonia's; landed here is the Concavity/E.W.D. furniture of the vision.)
