Granta 126: Do You Remember
The weekend her father left — left the house, the town, the country, everything, packing so lightly I believed he would come back — he said 'You can raise Nickie by yourself. You'll be good at it. And I had said, 'Are you on crack?' And he replied, continuing to fold a blue twill jacket, ""Yes, a little.""
— Lorrie Moore

— David Gates
