On April 27, 2011, just days after learning of their pregnancy, B.
J. Hollars, his wife, and their future son endured the onslaught of
an EF-4 tornado. There, while huddled in a bathtub in their Alabama
home, mortality flashed before their eyes. With the last of his
computer battery, Hollars began recounting the experience, and
would continue to do so in the following years, writing his way out
of one disaster only to find himself caught up in another.
Tornadoes, drownings, and nuclear catastrophes force him to
acknowledge the inexplicable, while he attempts to overcome his
greatest fear-the impossibility of protecting his newborn son from
the world's cruelties. Hollars creates a constellation of grief,
tapping into the rarely acknowledged intersection between
fatherhood and fear, sacrifice and safety, and the humbling effect
of losing control of our lives.
