I was right. Amir does in fact get beaten to a pulp. But, miraculously, he lives! Laughter is one of the things that saves him. I have not officially finished the book yet. I tossed it across the room the other night out of pure exhaustion, relieved to know that this novel might actually end semi-well. Unfortunately I still cannot find it anywhere. So frustrating.
So last night I picked up another book instead: Richard Ford's The Lay of the Land. My abiding affection and respect for this author's prose may rival my love of Ann Patchett's. I will include a snippet of the good stuff when I get a chance...right now it is back to grading...
