Pithy Quote

I refined this style that you describe. It is a deliberate telegraphic style. It is there for one reason. It is there to redefine the language. It is there to redefine the language because this is to me the best possible way of expressing the violence of the base narrative, which is another way to say the violence of history, and the violence of the inner and outer lives of the three main characters. This style encompasses racist invective. Yiddish. Profane lingo from across the board from hepcat jazz musician talk to southern cracker talk to the Klan speak of the Ku Klux Klan.
