| Lawrence's straightforward yet metaphoric language convinces the reader that perhaps the dog is Beau, even as Lawrence portrays Danny's grieving parents' further despair that they are losing a second son to his delusions. Either way, it's a dark departure from the more purely decorative feel of previous projects: Narrative and associative fragments here merge and shift, their metaphoric weight fluctuating with apparent unpredictability as the genre of landscape painting, to which they loosely belong, is subject to complex interrogation.
