？Dan！？　Rufus　bellowed。　？There　you　are！？　He　put　his　arm　around　his　son？s　shoulders　and　turned

to　the　group　of　bearded　Rufus　clones　surrounding　them。　？Dan；　these　are　the　members　of　my

gastronomic　society？they　brought　the　wild　boar　pat？。？　The　group　of　men　raised　their　glasses　in

greeting；　and　Rufus　pointed　to　a　plate　of　suspiciously　lumpy　brown　pat？　over　on　the　battered

wooden　coffee　table。　？Try　some？it？s　fantastic。？　Silence　=　death。

？And　Dan。？　Rufus　leaned　in　to　speak　more　privately；　？I　was　thinking　about　this　whole　transition

you？re　going　through。？　He　stopped　and　scratched　his　mess　of　a　beard。　？Well；　maybe　its　not　so

much　atransition　as　it　is　a　realization；？　Rufus　mused；　stuffing　a　mushy　glob　of　pat？　into　his

mouth。　？But　I　think；？　he　continued；　the　boar　pat？　sputtering　out　of　his　mouth　in　chunks；　？that　in

the　long　run　it　will　probably　make　you　a　better　writer；　like　Oscar　Wilde　or　W。H。　Auden。？　Rufus

took　a　gallant　swig　from　the　Cosmo　in　his　hand；　washing　down　his　meaty　mouthful。　？Just　think　of

all　you？ll　have　to　say　now！？　he　exclaimed。　？I　imagine　that　your　marginalized　position　will　be　very

productive　for　your　writing。？Marginalized　position？　Dan　didn？t　feel　very　marginalized？more　like

pletely　overwhelmed。　And　curious。　What　else　had　his　mother　e…mailed？　And　to　whom？　He

noticed　out　of　the　corner　of　his　eye　that　Greg　had　taken　a　seat　on　the　sofa　next　to　Chuck　and　his

idiotic　pink…Cosmo…stained　monkey。　They　seemed　to　be　giggling　over　the　rims　of　their　martini

glasses。　Just　then　Greg　looked　up；　caught　Dan？s　eye；　and　waved；　smiling　happily。　？C？mere；？　he

mouthed；　gesturing　with　one　hand。

？I？ll　be　right　back；？　Dan　told　his　father；　who　was　chewing　another　massive　slice　of　pita　bread

with　some　of　the　scary　pat？　smeared　on　it。

Greg　untangled　himself　from　Chuck　and　met　Dan　halfway　across　the　living　room。　Some　of　the

？Listen。？　Greg　ran　a　hand　through　his　shaggy　blond　hair。　？Not　now；　but　sometime　soon；　I？d
