The Art of Fielding Chapter 55 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Henry wakes up, walks home (completely naked, we guess, since he doesn't put his wet clothes back on), and falls asleep in his empty bed.
  • A knock on the door wakes him up. It's Pella.
  • She tells him that Mike is looking for him, so he sent her to find him with directions to where they're playing a game that day.
  • Henry doesn't care.
  • Pella tells Henry that her dad, Guert Affenlight, is sleeping with Henry's roommate, Owen.
  • Her suspicion is confirmed by the presence of her dad's old yearbook on Owen's shelf.
  • They look at pictures of her dad in the yearbook, then Pella puts Henry's hand down her pants. There's nothing like old photos of your parents to really put you in the mood, huh?
