    Summary

    Jay can't dodge this one. Mrs. Johnson is turning seventy-five and she wants her entire family to spend half of December together. They've rented two massive cottages in a fancy winter resort four hours north of Toronto. Maybe, maybe, if he and Matt weren't getting married, he could duck out of it. Maybe if fifty thousand dollars weren't being dangled above their heads, he could whine and mope his way free.

    But Matt wouldn't hear it.

    "You're going," he said.

    Summary

    The whiteboard is the catalyst, but it really isn’t. It tips over a series of dominoes that lead to Jay’s bedroom, get under his feet, and walk him out the door. But, in the morning after, when the whiteboard has that big, capital D ‘Don’t’ on it, and Matt won’t be honest about having written it, despite it clearly being his handwriting, the whiteboard isn’t the catalyst, because Matt gets up on the couch and erases it, and it’s almost like it wasn’t there to begin with.

    A retro/prospective on Jay McCarrol's fame.

    Summary

    So it feels like they've naturalized your permanent presence in every single step they take as a basis of reality: you are always, always there. / That'd be ridiculous. You’re just watching this. It wouldn’t be a film if you were really there. / He was your director and you were his camera, so he was your head and you were his fear.

    Jared, thrice drawn.
