Summary	Just moved into a new apartment, alone for the first time in years, Victor Forde goes every evening to Donnelly's pub for a pint. One evening a man in shorts and a pink shirt brings over his own pint and sits down. He seems to know Victor's name and to remember him from school. Says his name is Fitzpatrick. Victor dislikes him on sight; dislikes the memories that Fitzpatrick stirs up of five years being taught by the Christian Brothers. He prompts other recollections too - of Rachel, his beautiful wife who became a celebrity, and of Victor's small claim to fame as the man who says the unsayable on the radio. But it's the memories of school, and of one particular Brother, that he cannot control, and which eventually threaten to destroy his sanity...
