It is a work of \"\"documentary fiction\"\" (to use the term of W. G. Sebald) or \"\"autotheory\"\" (as proposed by Maggie Nelson). Oudshoorn moves from relating his personal experiences as both a son and a father to exploring the ways in which similar events have played out on a much larger scale within the Canadian occupation. Special attention is given to the history of the Mohawk Institute, Canada's oldest and longest-running \"\"Indian Residential School.\"\" Thus, although an Anglican bishop once described the Mohawk Institute as \"\"a magnificent work,\"\" Oudshoorn argues that the truly magnificent work that awaits people like him--notably, cishet male settlers of Christian and European descent--is the process of embodying a gentle masculinity, recovering a sense of one's proper place of connectedness within a network of relationships with varying degrees of responsibility and accountability, and striving towards decolonization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Oudshoorn is a father, lover, fighter, friend, and failure.
