Loved Ones — Ian Jack

It can be hard to love the people we should love; sometimes objects of affection are easier. This issue features Jonathan Taylor's frank and funny account of a boyhood spent caring for a father with Parkinson's Disease (Â'Who are you?'), and James Lasdun revisits Forest Lawns cemetery, inspiration for Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One. How does Los Angeles bury its dead today? Plus new fiction by David Malouf, Rebecca Miller and Jim Shepard.
