Summary:

Trevor grew up in a world run by women and these woman often went around the circle praying and singing. He introduced his family members, like his boisterous and eccentric grandfather, super old and stooped and frail great-grandmother-Koko. Trevor lived in a small two-room house without a private toilet. One afternoon, little Trevor tried to shit on the newspaper laid out on the kitchen floor, which was a fantastic experience. But Koko sensed that something was wrong and began to call. Little Trevor panicked and finally hid the shit in the bottom of the dustbin, then pretended to be asleep. His mother found it and thought they were bewitched by demon. So they started to pray.

Thought:

这三章构思的都好巧妙，由教堂引出去教堂路上遇到追杀而跳车逃跑的Run章节，由作者母亲为了想做的工作而租住不合法公寓遇到作父亲并生下Trevor的Born a crime章节，由作者的生活环境（祷告的女人和狭小的住宿）引出作者shit的乌龙的Trevor, Pray章节。很有画面感，很有趣却又偶然间触动心弦。Laughing with crying.
