The Art of Fielding Chapter 26 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Affenlight (Guert, not Pella) is back in his quarters as Owen and his mother, Genevieve, arrive.
  • When Genevieve goes to the bathroom, Guert helps Owen get comfortable on the couch, giving him a pillow and propping up his feet.
  • They chat, and Guert can't figure out if Owen is flirting with him or not.
  • "It was like an SAT for gay flirting" (26.20) he thinks, which doesn't make any sense, but we'll get to work on a guide for that subject.
  • Genevieve comes back from the bathroom, and she starts chatting, and now Guert can't figure out if she's flirting with him too. Who knew college presidents were so desirable?
