Chapter Summaries & Analyses
After talking to Harrison, Phoebe goes to the Red Hook warehouse with Lewyn to search for the Rizzoli collection, but they find nothing. They eat lunch sitting outside the warehouse and Lewyn tells her about how, when he returned from Utah and went to the warehouse for the first time, it had shattered him. He understood then that all of Salo’s love and passion, withheld from the family, had gone to his collection. As a curator and Art lover, he loves working with this world-class collection, but it does not make up for his father’s absence when he was a child.
Phoebe then asks him what happened to him in Utah. After the clambake, Lewyn had lied about wanting to become Mormon and trying to join the pageant. Everyone assumed that, although he was Jewish, he had converted. Finally, however, they confronted him, and when he told them about Salo’s death, they accepted him. He returned to the Sacred Grove repeatedly, finding peace there, and he finally hitched a ride with a family traveling home to Utah.
He studied Art history at Brigham Young University in Provo and had been well on his way to converting when a paper he wrote on four Mormon artists changed his mind.
