The Good

  the Angel on the Seventh Step or anything.

The Bad

• Pg. 210
• I think my father is like the Holy Trinity with
  three people in him, the one in the morning with
  the paper, the one at night with the stories and
  prayers, and the one who does the bad thing and
  comes home with the smell of whiskey and wants us
  to die for Ireland.

The Ugly

• Pg. 86
• Dad nods at me. Well be going in a minute,
  son, but when he goes to put his glass on the
  coffin after the long swallow I push it away.
