Reading Questions:
Consider this passage on pg 130:
“When she hung up the phone … depending on what you wanted.” (130-1)
Why is this passage narrated in such a dissociated tone? What is the significance of Maria “replaying” the scenario in her head and making up different outcomes?
“I used to ask questions, and I got the answer: nothing.” (210)
What does Maria mean by this? Is there a meaning to this passage, and the novel overall?
After finishing the book, what do you think about the title?
