Tower’s precise rendition of this grisly surgery—the crunch of the ribs, the image of Djarf fumbling around Naddod’s innards, the lungs flapping like wings—builds to Harald’s understated response, as if to a paper cut. The movie heightens and exploits this by being set in this noiry genred world: since you sort of think you know what you're looking at, you're not expecting to be surprised, and Lynch shows I think good control for once in not making things so weird that you ever fully stop expecting that you know at least partly what to expect.

The fact that such an emotion came out of me says he accomplished a lot, but that’s not to say that I loved every page.As the young man realized what he’d done, his features fretted up like a child trying to pout his way out of a spanking. She’s the classic adolescent and the classic Tower character—deeply ambivalent about human bonding, she tries to break away and finds herself trapped.

Although that would kind of undermine my ongoing campaign to get the short story, the three minute single of modern literature, a little more profile. At the end of it the title essay presents you with the only story to do anything interesting with this premise, and then delivers the whole collections thesis.
