In "Boner McPharlin's Moll", Jackie goes east and gets herself an education before moving on to "the things I dreamt of, some diplomatic stints, the UN, some teaching, a think-tank". Her narrative, however, tells us almost nothing about her dreams but instead circles obsessively around her doomed relationship with Boner, the local misfit she befriended during her adolescence. Boner's brief, hopeless trajectory assumes, in this context, an emblematic force: caught up in a web of drug-related crime and corruption, he is found one morning on the beach with both his legs broken and ends his days hospitalised and confined to a wheelchair. "Get me out," he pleads when Jackie visits. "Let's ride, let's just arc it up and go."
