Hollis Clayton is struggling. He's struggling to come to terms with the death of his son 2yrs ago, he's struggling with his writing career but he's not struggling with his fondness for "Jack" (of the bottle fame). His wife abandons him for the summer exclaiming they need time apart, to think. What follows is a book about the minutia of Hollis' life, his days, his phases, his scrutiny of life for story ideas. Some of it is painful, some of it is gentle humour. This book grows on you.
