The question I have for people is what role do you think class plays in the novel, what are your thoughts on what it means that Agostino the rich boy gets changed and loses his innocence via the poor boys

I am your number one listener, jack. Justice for sweet Agostino.
The way in which you use the term “chance encounter” is very effective to detailing the aftermath of the book. It reminds me of that encounter in Nadja when the author sees her for a moment and is immediately enthralled.
[Technical note: for some reason, the sound was rather muddier on this video.]
You say Agostino’s innocence was “ruined.” But doesn’t it *have* to be ruined? He can’t stay innocent forever! In that sense, do the boys do him a favour?
And Kendra makes a good point that he “doesn’t even know what puberty is.”
