...just as the struggle seems hopeless, the world beyond the wall opens up, and they escape into a world "which might present them with anything"--they walk "out of this collapsed little world into another order of world together." It is the narrator, the old sexless observer, who sees the way to this world of unlimited possibility; but Emily, transmuted into an earthmother, is the one who finally leads the rest. Emily, sure of her love and adulthood, has taken her place in a new order. The narrator can only watch and wonder as "the last walls" dissolve...
Weirdos. Another great thing about the Square is that it attracts unusual people. At any given time, in fact, you can walk through the Square and see someone who is extremely bizarre, intelligent, harmless, and possessed of a burning desire to talk to you about their theory of existence or some such thing.

Claremon is a bit of a necromancer himself, easily summoning up the spirits of B. Traven, Garcia Lorca and-unhappily -Ernest Hemingway. It is in echoing Papa's Spanish style that the novelist makes...
...Bicentennial profits. Witness the squalid tug of war between Boston, Philadelphia, Washington and every other city that wants to boost its tourism by being designated America's Bicentennial City. Enough of this patriotic crap about the United States; the real question is which one of them is going to walk off with the money...
