Guy Sutter Jr. thought he knew his parents. But as he flips through a seemingly innocuous Rolodex discovered among his late father's effects, he finds that the yellowing, typewritten cards recount moments of play, odd joy, sexual awakening, jealousy, and fear that comprise both a secret history and a startling new window into Guy's own childhood. Whether floating a boat down a city street, staging a nap-in, or sabotaging a friend's Vietnam War draft exam, these unforeseen revelations- these happenings-become, for Guy and for the reader, an elusive and tantalizing set of clues pointing towards the most intimate revelations of all.
