The Forms of Water (1993)
“That boy who’d looked like a wild thing, an otter or a mink; the silent woman; the man with the stick—they’d made him feel violated in some place the banks and the lawyers had missed, and yet he could see that Brendan was right. The house was theirs now, more than it had ever been his.
He drove quietly. He drove very fast. Brendan, if he was thinking about that family, kept his thoughts to himself, and Henry tugged his Red Wings cap down low and longed for the expensive sunglasses he’d brok...en in his car crash and hadn’t had the money to replace. The cap had a red mesh crown and a cheap plastic tag in the back, but the bill was wide and long and shaded his eyes. He’d purchased it years ago, at a baseball game to which he’d brought Lise and Delia and Wiloma’s kids. He couldn’t remember why he’d kept it, but he was glad that he’d had the foresight to take it from Kitty’s house. When they’d left Coreopsis, he’d plucked it from his box and stuck it on his head, longing for some form of disguise.MoreLess
