Explanation and Analysis—They're There:

In the final chapter of the novel, Tony attempts to escape the shooting at the powwow. Already shot twice in the legs, he has an extended flashback to his young childhood in which he helps Maxine with the dishes. The flashback seems totally real to him in the moment:

Tony dips his hand back into the sink of bubbles and dishes and blows them at her again. She has some on the side of her face and she doesn’t wipe them off, just keeps a straight face and keeps on washing. Tony thinks this is the funniest thing he’s ever seen. And he doesn’t know if she knows this is happening, or if they’re really not there. He doesn’t know that he’s not there, because he’s right there, in that moment which he can’t remember as having happened because it’s happening to him now. He’s there with her in the kitchen blowing sink bubbles.
