Paul Nightingale :
The conversation between Deuce and "the company rep"
(194) is also predicated on the sense that any witness
shouldn't be offered incriminating evidence: from the
rep's pov this includes Deuce himself, but it also
implicitly includes a reader/voyeur. As Peter has
suggested, the writing in these pagess is indeed
cinematic, and here we have another Metzian moment in
which the reader identifies with the camera, so to
speak.
Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" came to mine, plausible deniability, no fingerprints from the sources, no way to point away from the triggerman. Of course, were're looking at kinds of services offered by "Intel" ops., right? And the Chums of Chance are, after all, one of them vital tools for Intellegence operations.
