When the narrator of Childish Loves inherits a colleague Peter's
writings on Lord Byron, he finds himself acting as a literary
sleuth. Sorting through boxes of manuscripts he reads between the
lines of these scandalous, Byron-inspired stories, meets with the
Society for the Publication of the Dead, and tracks down people
from Peter's past in an effort to untangle rumour from reality. In
the process, he crafts a masterful story-within-a-story that turns
on uncomfortable questions about childhood and sexual awakening,
innocence and attraction, while exploring the lives of three very
different writers and their brushes with success and failure in
both literature and life.
