I just finished 'Stones' today. The ending leaves me with as many questions as answers. I am curious to know if there is a forum available to discuss interpretations of exactly what happened at the end. Did Dawes die literally or figuratively? This may be obvious to some but isn't clear to me. I am also not sure if the end 'catches up' in time to the scenes with Dawes and Urzika earlier in the book. I am surprised that no other questions of this nature appear on this board. Thanks for bringing the book to my attention.

Mike, thanks very much for your perspective. The main reason why I questioned the 'real' death of Dawes at the end of the book was my initial inability to reconcile where Book/Chapter 3.1 (Dawes' first scenes with Urzika) took place in time. It was unclear to me where the Urzika thread picked up after his period of institutionalization and scene on the Mexican train. I have since re-read Book 3 and realize that section 3.5 picks up where 3.1 left off and Dawes time with Urzika is chronological. So, I now agree with your assessment of Dawes' death being real, though I am a little curious as to the physical cause of it - alcohol poisoning or complications from his infected eye or some of both.
Congratulations for discovering this book back when it was published. Please let me know if you have any new perspectives to share after you re-read it.
Tom

Hi All...I just watched the movie last night and loved it. I did have to laugh though when, near the beginning, Mark has audio of a hawk screeching but shows video of a vulture circling above. The clip was repeated a few times and I felt betrayed by the fakery, but quickly got over it as the movie progressed. Just wondering why he would do that
