Discuss an instance when O'Connell invokes the use of sensory details.

In Chapter 3: The Queen of Cuba, O'Connell depicts the moment when he went inside a safehouse vault in the Black Hills of South Dakota. O’Connell writes, "The sound of the door closing was like nothing I had ever heard, an overwhelmingly loud and deep detonation, the obliteration of the possibility of any sound but itself—so all-encompassing and absolute that it became almost a kind of silence" (55). Sound is used as a way to indicate the absolute isolation, melancholy, and finality of the experience.
