All of these attempts to explain the psyche of the thief, presented from the compass of three different people, explain nothing. Perhaps after the first section, you might be believe yourself onto an explanation for the thief's behavior. It's possible, but still we have no idea why Marilyn is attracted to him. A fleeting glimpse. To what depths of desperation has she fallen?

The second section about the robber is only a repetition with difference. As Jacques Derrida (and Heraclitus) maintain, the thief is still becoming, we cannot fix on him with certainty. And the third section only reaffirms the deferral.

In the style of Sterne's Tristram Shandy, we have interrupted the narrative in mid-conversation. After, the thief was describing how he had gone to Marilyn's house. Or had he gotten there yet?
