Quote #10
It seemed odd to Joel nature did not reflect so solemn an event: flowers of cottonboll clouds within a sky as scandalously blue as kitten-eyes were offensive in their sweet disrespect: a resident of over a hundred years in so narrow a world deserved higher homage. (2.10.1)
We're zooming in on that phrase "so narrow a world" to try to connect it with Jesus Fever's race. His funeral was very sparsely attended, and Joel doesn't think that it's very appropriate. Jesus Fever had lived in the narrow world of Skully's Landing, but also the narrow-minded world that had been touched by racism and had nothing to show for it, which also reflects the narrowness.
