HELLO!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED ABERNATHY IN THE GOLDENFINCH!!! I LITERALLY SCREAMED
ok, ok just as i think we all have to stay calm, i’ll quote:
“other friends, like mr. ABERNATHY - MY DAD’S AGE (and this part is probably the most shocking) with some ILL-ARTICULATED SCANDAL or DISGRACE IN HIS PAST - were so MERCURIAL and ARTICULATE, so DISMISSIVE of me - ‘and where did you say you obtained this child, james?’”
THIS IS FUCKING HIM. THIS. IS. FUCKING. HIM.
