Across a series of linked vignettes — part short story collection, part prose poem — Bentley follows three families in a suburban close, each with a father who has retreated to a basement, cellar, or converted garage. There is Mark, who spends his evenings restoring a pinball machine that will never fully work. There is Phil, who claims to be “sorting the fuse box” for six months. And there is Tony, who has built a model railway so elaborate it now requires its own wiring diagram. The novel is filled with 90s and early 00s ephemera
