What exactly is happening at the end of Emma Cline’s ‘The Guest’? The staff of VF—and friends—debate:
I think it’s safe to say that Alex has suffered head trauma significant enough that it’s physically apparent. There’s a moment after the accident where she can’t remember Jack’s name and refers to him as the boy. She never gives herself a clear look before going to the party, and the lack of acknowledgment from the people there makes it almost seem like she has walked into a random house and is imagining Simon, his guests, and the staff.
To put myself at risk of overanalyzing a great thing that really doesn’t need a cottage industry of hot-take-ery , here’s my piece about the end. It’s pretty simple. When Alex completes her odyssey, our hero’s Ithaca is just another dumb Hamptons party with bad canapés and art-adjacent hangers-on she thinks she recognizes. Instead of a melodramatic flourish, the book ends with Simon seeing Alex at his party, and she freezes up, having spent so much time imagining this very moment.
