The Fugitives
“There are some mornings when I wake up dreaming a child’s plangent dream: I want my father, badly enough that it upends the day, even as its first cold light is just icing the slats of the blinds. I’d fooled myself that I’d done my grieving when he first got sick; I’d certainly done enough of it then. The telephone call from my mother telling me of the “significant” growth that had been discovered on my father’s brain came only days after Rae and I had returned with the kids from her parents’ h...ouse in North Truro, our annual vacation there an unfailing restorative so dependably lacking in any need to make real decisions that for the duration of our stay I always felt like I was my own pampered child. This year the trip had come two months after the successful publication of my third book, a story collection, and it was while we were at the beach one August day that the call had come from the Boyd Foundation. Suddenly years of difficulty seemed to have been completely overcome.MoreLess
