during when Estha steps out to sing the sound of music, he meets the orangedrink lemondrink man. Estha never truly truly understands what happens between the two of them. and does as he is told. I don't think I have ever read something so wretched and disturbing when it is expressed so casually. Roy's discription of it is painfully accurate and beautifully disgusting. it made the story and the kind of people set in it so much more vivid.
