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.
