the return at the very end really got me even tho i didn't give a shit about vidal through the entire book. the melodrama imagery was just so strong, i could visualise the entire scene.. it made me think of a gerardo de leon movie, or maybe a scene from armando bó's fiebre (neither are melodrama directors exactly and of course the entire book is set in the 30s & 40s but that's how it looked in my head!). idk. hats off to m. pemberton.
