- Annotation
- Contends that Alice is the most obvious source of light in the story. Karslake cites Tom s homosexuality and Native American ancestry as reasons for his and Nick s removal from the bar, leaving both outcasts. Claims Nick s narrative position as other allows him to eschew societal norms and find physical and intellectual beauty in Alice, a morbidly obese prostitute.
