Reinhart in Love Damon Galgut The dead Syrian is soon

The dead Syrian is soon identified as Wael Al Hussain

with one vertiginious plunge after another

it's soon obvious that his own life is in danger

Good hearted and intelligent, sympathetic but cynical, Reinhart is a participant who nevertheless remains a spectator. This gives the story its piquancy. Imagine going full throttle for success, simultaneously riding the brakes in apprehension.
