Part novella, part polyphonic fable, part essay on grief. Here he is, husband and father, scruffy romantic, a shambolic scholar, a man adrift in the wake of his wife’s sudden, accidental death. And there are his two sons who like him struggle in their London apartment to face the unbearable sadness that has engulfed them. In this moment of violent despair they are visited by Crow, antagonist, trickster, goad, protector, therapist, and babysitter.
