As soon as marie enters the his house, the beach, the beach house, the sea, the prison, the courtroom etc there is always a throwaway line about him noticing her breasts.

From the courtroom scene, "Marie came in. She'd put on a hat and still looked beautiful. But I liked her better with her hair down. From where I was sitting, I could make out the shape of her small, shapely breasts and noticed the fullness of that lower lip I knew so well"

I just did a quick search and the word breast appears only 4 times in the whole book. Sure, it's kind of weird in the court scenes but the other 3 make sense, it's either him admiring her, touching here while they are swimming together, or getting a bit handsy during a film.

I had to read this book three times over the course of my public and higher education and I do not recall any particular fascination with breasts or any special emphasis given to them over other details. From the sound of >>18228843 >>18228890 it looks like nothing remarkable as I suspected, the descriptions are as terse as everything else.

Since this book centers around the concept of absurdity, there is definitely a certain blandness in its characters and narrative. I suppose the key to 'interpreting' this novel is to take a proverbial step back and look at the whole picture it tries to paint, instead of self-inserting into the protagonist.

I saw it as a form of satire on human impulsiveness and the indecisiveness of a man who was formed by societal mechanisms into a state of inert emptiness. I mean he barely registers his mother's death, is steered by primal urges to move sluggishly towards a meaningless random murder.

I agree somewhat, but you ignore the ending, where he is confronted with his actions and gets quite emotional. I think only then he understands that he cannot simply be at ease with the way his life is going, like he was before. Only after his life breaks down, he actually understands how much he wants to distance himself from this "NPC" life

But he doesn't. He's bored and disenfranchised with the whole act of incarceration and the last sentence is literally like "all I wish for is to feel maximum hate and anger from the people at my execution" or something like that. He's not feeling it but instead hopes for others to vent THEIR emotion into his demise. He just sleepwalks through the book from start to finish.

I think you need to question things a bit more. Ask yourself, why are they her breasts? What context are the breasts discussed in? You know sometimes prose writers make better poetry than verse crafters.
