In the group: The formalist. Earl believes everything has a correct place, and he knows where it is. Chaos isn’t a style to Earl. It’s a mistake that hasn’t been corrected yet.
At supper club: He straightens the forks before anyone sits. Remy un-straightens one. Earl notices. Every month.
Juicy tidbit: Nobody knows what Earl’s “the Wonder” stands for. Earl says it’s self-explanatory. It isn’t.
Earl and Remy have argued about composition at every supper for fourteen months. Earl arranges and Remy rearranges. Earl says, “It doesn’t belong.” Remy says, “That’s why it belongs.” Earl would never admit it, but the arguments are his favorite part of the month. He keeps a small notebook of every arrangement Remy has ruined, and he has started to notice that some of them look better.
