"This is a Borzoi Book"--Title page verso.
1. What have you done? -- I can say many nice things -- The dark arts -- Rollingwood -- 2. On not growing up -- My views on the darkness -- 3. Watching mysteries with my mother -- The loyalty protocol -- 4. The father costume -- 5. First love -- Fear the morning -- Origins of the family -- Against attachment -- Leaving the sea -- 6. The moors.
A collection of life-affirming tales includes the dystopian "Rollingwood," in which a divorced father struggles with employment while caring for an ailing infant; and the title story, in which a narrator's marriage and sanity unravel in a single breathless sentence.
