This earned its spot right next to Cannery Row on my shelf, on a map, and in my heart. The lives of Danny and the boys are as worthy as Mack and the boys, and as criminal, and as happy. I loved it.
As Jesus Maria said: “‘You see,’ Jesus Maria said, ‘it is funny. But it squeezes in you, too.’”
It is astounding to find that the belly of every black and evil thing is as white as snow. And it is saddening to discover how the concealed parts of angels are leprous. Honor and peace to Pilon, for he had discovered how to uncover and to disclose to the world the good that lay in every evil thing. Nor was he blind, as so many saints are, to the evil of good things. It must be admitted with sadness that Pilon had neither the stupidity, nor the self-righteousness nor the greediness for reward ever to become a saint.
