Darwin Lush, sensual and exotic to the fifteen year old, Darwin is the main setting throughout the novel and, although Paul is not living there at the conclusion, it is where we see him for the last time. Paul returns to be with Keller when Keller dies and it is here that he reflects upon his life, his learning, his love and his music and decides that although his world was foolish and innocent he loved it “Endlessly, effortlessly.” Thus the story begins and ends in Darwin and during both his early days and his last visit, Paul finds it a lonely place but a town that he loves. Darwin is presented in a negative light in many ways: the “city of booze, blow, and blasphemy”; the town to which, “all the scum in the country has somehow risen”… “All the drifters, the misfits…The wife-bashers…” Paul’s father, John Crabbe, tells stories of his daily encounters at the hospital with inhabitants who have drifted to Darwin as a place of refuge.

There is an interesting parallel here with Keller’s journals, as if in his pursuit to collect evidence of human folly and stupidity Keller has sought to immerse himself in a setting most suited to his studies.

Balla's painting is in a 'Futurist Style,' which plays particular attention to light, movement and speed.In his work we see the feet of an owner as he is walking his dog. The contrasting black against white background draws your attention to the scurrying feet.

Take care, it was great knowing you.” (69), Chris wrote on a card sent to two generous people, Jan and Bob Burres.
