BY NIGHTFALL by Michael Cunningham
Peter Harris is used to life dealing him very few surprises. He’s got a steady job as owner of a fairly profitable art gallery in New York City and his marriage to Rebecca Harris, the editor of an arts and culture magazine, is fulfilling enough. His daughter Bea, who has quit school at Tufts to become a bartender instead, hates him for no reason that Peter can immediately discern.
Into this fairly steady life, walks in Mizzy—short for “Mistake.” Mizzy is Rebecca’s much younger brother (he is only a few years older than Bea) who is a recovering drug addict and plans on staying with the Harrises until he can figure out his future life plans. He wants to do “something in the arts” but is unsure exactly what.
