Description

Hollis Clayton is in trouble. Still haunted by his small son s death, stalled in his writing career and over fond of the bottle, he finds himself abandoned by his wife for the summer - or, if he doesn t shape up, for good. But without his emotional anchor, Hollis continues to unravel. Besides, he s busy spying on the neighbours and sharing his meals with a stray dog. When is he going to find the time to get his life back on track?

Here, in the daily rhythms of Hollis s disintegrating life, lies an evisceratingly comic portrait of suburban despair. With this deeply affecting tale of grief and renewal, Elizabeth H. Winthrop makes a striking debut.
