Mother Night Chapter 44 Summary

"Kahm-Boo…"

  • The stench is nast.
  • Campbell gives up. He knocks on Dr. Epstein's door and turns himself in. He wants to be sent to Israel for trial.
  • Dr. Epstein shoos Campbell away, saying he's not a Zionist.
  • Campbell hears Dr. Epstein arguing with his mom in German. The way they say his last name sounds like "Kahm-Boo."
  • Dr. Epstein's mom comes out into the hall, and she and her son bring him inside.
  • Campbell doesn't look so good. The doctor tends to him, and they call three others to make a citizen's arrest.
  • Sitting in the kitchen, Dr. Epstein's mom croons in German at Campbell: "Corpse-carriers to the guardhouse" (44.84).
