“The truth is, of course, that the story does not end here, at the stoplight beneath the cerulean wash of a Wisconsin sky, does not end as I close my eyes and join Andy in this moment of willed blindness. Nor does it end in this darkness, as I listen, among the blare of music and beeping cars, for the sound of my brother’s voice.
