“As a child David loved the cartoons where a boxing glove would pop out from a character’s chest like a hilarious, haphazard game of pop-goes-the-weasel; years later, when he punched his girlfriend for the first time, he was amazed by how it felt just as he’d imagined it. In the darkest corner where body and mind share horrible truths, he knew this punch was a long time coming.”
