The irreverent heartbeat
Ethan Miller
Every feeling gets a joke. Until it doesn’t
Sixteen and quick with a joke, Ethan brings percussion to the Sharpies and turns up at his uncle Guy’s café with the others. He tries to write a song, but its words keep becoming an essay; Bunny notices and stays to listen. His humor does not keep him from caring. When the Sharpies win in Times Square, he needs a moment to understand it, then cries into a towel before he can hide it.
