Yeah, as I said, it was definitely an hour-after-thought. But something about the way both characters held two drinks and had to swap out the extras with that other guy, sounded almost like an Abbot and Costello vaudeville routine. Which at the time felt still more tragic than funny, but if I read it again, I wonder if I would find more dark comedy in it. Sort of in the vein of Bonfire of the Vanities or Blue Angel. But yeah, as I said in my review of this book, Ian McEwan is on my list of authors whose entire body of work I plan to read.
