The Art of Fielding Chapter 10 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Pella Affenlight has left her older husband and is returning home to her father in Wisconsin.
  • Her dad picks her up, late as promised, and they get in his car to return to the college.
  • She asks about his health, and he wonders about the state of her marriage—she didn't actually tell her husband, David, that she was leaving.
  • Pella wants to audit classes to get her mind off things, even though it's the middle of the semester.
  • He tells her that he'll see what he can do.
