[It's one that too easily bleeds into the related question — do you know what he is. In Albert's world, the two by nature go together; if something is real, you can figure it out, take it apart, see how it works. You can understand it, make sense of it.
He still remembers how it felt when they stood there amongst the trees after this girl's father died with his head cracked open like an egg all over the jailhouse floor. He'd wanted a cigarette, and had resigned himself to fidgeting with his fingers instead.]
