This is pretty well written, but the bombshell that is dropped about twenty pages from the end is a lot to take in. I see why Cole didn't explain it - he's probably trying to show how this narrator uses his intellect to distance himself from painful emotional experience and guilt. But, I don't know, this sort of "gotcha" feel doesn't really strike me as the most effective way to get this feeling across. This was good, but I wanted it to be even better.
