Fiction Family Life
Tonight will be the most difficult night in
25–year–old Anton Duchamp's life.
When his best friend James Squire is mysteriously rushed
to hospital, Anton begins a night–long journey that
takes him from shady, marijuana–smoke–filled
apartments to ex–girlfriends' bedrooms, and eventually
back to his childhood home.
As the night unfolds, so do new revelations about Anton's
recreational drug use and his past failures. And as Friday
night drags into Saturday morning, he learns of James's
deteriorating health. In a universe that has seemingly left
him without a specific function, it takes a single night for
Anton to realize that no one will ever hand him a meaning or
a purpose.
Fingerless Gloves, which won the Fiction Fast–Track
prize for new writing, is a story about best friends and the
mistakes we never knew we were making. It is a story about
remembering – by any means necessary.
