Summary
Ten years later, and Withnail is a teacher at RADA. Ten years since Marwood left him in the pouring rain. A decade seemed enough to sort everything out, to reach something that resembled inner peace. But then Marwood walks into his life again, unaware of everything, and Withnail is once again in the pouring rain. Metaphorically.

Summary
He repeats it a few times, scratches his neck, slaps himself again, and then falls into his bed. He groans at the way it bothers his bruised ribs, but he lays there in the pain, letting it cleanse him from his thoughts earlier.
Here, in the haze of his pain, he is whole, normal, pure. He is repenting, paying his dues, accepting his punishment. He doesn’t need his pa for that, he can do it himself, make sure he’s not some dirty gay.
Gary hasn’t believed in God in a very long time; in fact, he’s certain there isn’t one. But there has to be some truths in the world, and this has to be one of them.
Gary Barkovitch is normal. And if he isn’t, he’ll break himself until his bones set right.
———————
OR - All Gary Barkovitch's life, he has been the starving mutt wandering the edge of the street light, baring his teeth at any approaching person. Maybe, now in Maine, he can learn to lower his hackles and let people in.Series

Summary
What Tozer was proposing was no different from an experiment, an effort to further one’s knowledge and understanding, and so there could be no sin in it.
The fate of the expedition turns on the connection between John Irving and Solomon Tozer. A soft, sprawling canon-divergent love story.

Summary
In September 2018, two graduate students from the University of Chicago, studying the newly discovered wrecks of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, stumble upon a grave site containing two skeletons. Identified as a Caucasian male, approximately mid to late-30s, and a second Caucasian male, approximately late-70s, their presence on King William Island reveals that not all perished in the doomed Franklin Expedition. One man survived. And buried next to him, in a loose grave of shale and rock, rests a journal wrapped in preserved skins. This is the last will and testament of one Captain Francis Crozier, who survived. And who lived.

Summary
James knew then, with a devastating certainty, that there was nothing awaiting him in England. This shell of a man he had become, or rather what yolk had run out once the shell was broken, had no friends there. All who once knew him would look at him with this same pity, and excuse themselves from his company. He no longer had anything to offer them to keep them by his side.
A story about longing and belonging.
