Sample dialogue
He is not an invincible comet speeding on its guided arc toward the outer reaches of the galaxy in cosmic space-time. Rather: he is a boy who will die young. He will drown on this planet, in the steady current of the deep, dirty, magnificent river that flows night and day through the veins and arteries of his own ancient city. His parents will receive a telephone call at midnight, dress briskly, mechanically, and hold hands in the silent taxi as they go to identify the body of their cold son.
