As father and son grapple with the task, long-buried conflicts resurface. Thomas, a poet and former radical priest, slips between affection and fear, while the narrator struggles to find the words he’s been holding back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet amidst confusion and grief, moments of humour and connection emerge, as both men discover new ways to understand each other and let go. Told through a striking combination of text and image, Klaces’ distilled novel explores the stories we tell about our lives, the limits of intimacy, and the fragile line between reality and delusion. Based on the life of his own father, \u003cem\u003eMr Outside\u003c\/em\u003e is poignant, profound, and unexpectedly funny; a tender meditation on endings, the limits of understanding, and the act of letting go.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Caleb\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKlaces \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaleb Klaces is the author of the novel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFatherhood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, which won a Northern Writers Award and was longlisted for the Republic of Consciousness Prize, and the poetry collections \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAway From Me\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBottled Air\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, which won an Eric Gregory Award and the Melita Hume Prize.
