I didn't remember much of the short story, other than the protagonist gets in trouble at a boarding school, is kicked out, and his dad picks him up at the end. And there were nerdy Latin jokes throughout. It affected me greatly when I read it, making an impression partly because I knew I didn't really get it. Reading it the other night, I appreciate the emotional context much better. I especially like that the father-son relationship comes through despite largely being unstated by either character, and only slightly commented upon by the author.
And, I still find the faux Latin conjugations to be great fun. Spitto, spittere, ach tui, splattus, indeed. Perhaps enough to read the complete novel one of these days. ( )
