There are quite a few climaxes in this book, but this seems to be the biggun'. Sure there's another after this with the whole "this is the most depressing suicide attempt ever" dealie, but I take it this story is more focused on Amir trying to atone for his utter douchebagginess to Hassan during his childhood. This bizarre catharsis as a result of the hooliwad (word my mom uses) being punched out him was necessary in Amir's eyes to feel healed. I personally think Assef and Amir are insane. To want to feel physical pain to atone for your emotional torment would definitely rack up some extra sessions on the psychology bill. I also found it odd that Amir laughed like Assef when he had his little epiphany in jail. And just for the record, getting a kidney stone kicked out of you is not a sign from AllahGod. In other news, Hosseini made this super cool 'cuz teh cLiMAXX ez pARiDoxIcAL!
*sigh*
