The Passenger by Emi McCarthy

McCarthy's dialogue is also this platform on which McCarthy is kind of using signposting. All these characters in the bars where Bobby's drinking, they actually sort of remark on his inner psyche like kind of Greek chorus members. We're going to listen to a short extract now from the passenger. Emi, would you introduce it for us? This is quite early on in the passenger, and it describes the sort of scene in the 1980s, New Orleans that Bobby is hanging out in.
