ONEJuly 13, 1987Eau Claire, WisconsinMondayI remember everything. This isn’t an exaggeration. As the few who know me would confirm, I’m not prone to hyperbole. And when I say I remember everything, I’m not talking about the events of this morning. Or yesterday. Or the whole of last week. I remember everything since October 2, 1973. Since the day I woke from my coma when I was seven years old. Every meal. Every conversation. The lyrics of every song that entered my ears.

When I set out to write my second novel, A Step Part Darkness, I knew it was a lot more ambitious than my debut had been.
