My gerbil-on-a-wheel brain is envisioning a situation where Theodore Decker and Richard Papen exchange their books and read them while sitting across from each other. They would read in riveted silence, sporadically broken by knowing “hmm”s and appalled gasps.

#a younger Richard would have romanticized Theo so hard #now he’s just envious that Theo has a much clearer path of atonement #when they realize they both know Francis #they both obsess over a single woman #Theo has it worse but at least Pippa is a good person #the secret history #donna tartt #tsh #richard papen #the goldfinch #theo decker
