Description

Now in paperback for the very first time, A Lot Of Methods to Start is just a powerful study of family and memory, a glance at what goes on when life causes you to forget about the individual you may have been. Donald Carter is definitely an obsessive enthusiast, and the curator of the neighborhood history museum. Along with managing the city's records, he's, since boyhood, busily archived the things that inform their own life-story: school record cards, birth certificate, film and train seats. Nevertheless when a senile general lets slide an extended-hidden family secret, David is required to think about that his total carefully cataloged existence might be built around a rest.
