    Summary

    Skyscrapers in the city didn’t reach so much as hunch, Atlases under the sky’s stifling weight. High-rise lights in the distant far-up were smothered by the smog, which broke itself against the brickwork—just another murder-suicide.

    One more cold night in a long spell of dark, listless, collar-turned-up evenings. New York. Nineteen fifty-three.

    /// 

    Two doctors-turned-detectives meet by chance. They fall out, fall in, and fall together in the fall of 1953.

    Summary

    Harry Goodsir's life, imagined as a garden of forking paths. It's 1848 and he is dying in a tent on King William Island. It's 1849 and he is having yet another tiresome argument with the administration of Surgeons' Hall over funding for the museum while he waits for his friend Edward Forbes to return from the Arctic. It's 1854 and he's serving in the Crimea with James Fitzjames. It's 1861 and he is collecting butterflies under the watchful eyes of asylum orderlies. It's 1870 and he is walking on the beach near Fife with his children. It's 1886 and Silna holds his hand as he breathes his last. All of these things are true.

    It is somewhat curious to notice that we can thus conceive of an existence relative to which that which we enjoy must exist as a mere abstraction.
        —Charles H. Hinton, "What Is the Fourth Dimension?"

    Nothing of him that doth fade,
    But doth suffer a sea-change
    Into something rich and strange.
        —William Shakespeare, The Tempest, I.2
