Burns, the hero of the tale, is four years old when it all begins. He is
the illegitimate son of Daughter Alice, a tattoo artist. She takes Jack
on a pilgrimage to find his womanizing father, William, a church organist
and "ink addict." By seeking out church organs and tattoo parlors, she expects
to find him. She doesn't. Alice and Jack return to Toronto so that Jack
may enter a previously all-girls school, which will admit little boys for
the first time. There begins another 200 pages of the girls and the teachers
abusing Jack, over and over again. By now, he is five and is, for some unfathomable
reason, eminently interesting to girls and women. His "friend" Emma keeps
careful track of "the little guy," as she calls Jack's penis, looking for
signs of life. |
