Which character is referred to as Dunny when scoffing at his stories?

The character referred to as Dunny when scoffing at his stories is Paul Dempster. Paul has a complex relationship with Dunstan Ramsay, also known as Dunny. The nickname itself reflects the familiarity and the personal connection between the two characters. In the context of the story, Dunny often reflects on his past, and certain characters like Paul, who undergoes significant transformation throughout the novel, represent both admiration and criticism of Dunny's storytelling.

Jill Surgeoner, while an important character, does not demonstrate this particular dynamic in relation to Dunny's past and his stories. The other characters listed, such as Padre Balzone and Milo, also do not engage in this way with Dunny's narrative. The interactions between Dunny and Paul highlight themes of storytelling, perception, and how personal histories are shared and interpreted, which are central to the novel's exploration of identity and memory.
