The Art of Fielding Chapter 39 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Guert has to re-evaluate his feelings toward Pella's husband, David.
  • He used to hate David because of the age gap between David and Pella, but Guert realizes that there's an even larger age gap between himself and Owen.
  • They have a tense chat until Pella shows up to change for dinner.
  • When she goes to her room, Guert gets distracted when he looks out the window and sees Owen across the quad.
  • Owen is hanging out his window and smoking a joint, and Guert realizes Owen "would never need him" (39.49).
