Watch The Missing Chapter

Sometimes a story is better heard than read.

I’m reading The Missing Chapter from the beginning, one chapter at a time — although apparently social media has very definite opinions about how long I’m allowed to talk, so some chapters arrive in several parts.

This is the place where you can watch the whole thing in the right order, without hunting through Instagram or TikTok trying to work out where Part Three disappeared to.

These aren’t polished audiobooks or studio recordings. They’re me, reading the novel I wrote, occasionally stumbling over my own sentences, probably drinking too much coffee, and discovering that some passages are considerably harder to read aloud than they were to write.

Start at Chapter One, jump in wherever you like, or follow along as I add new recordings.

Headphones optional. Early-90s soundtrack strongly encouraged.

    Chapter One Part Six

    Some memories survive because they were enormous.

    Others survive because of one tiny, completely ordinary detail that somehow refuses to disappear.

    Chapter One Part Four

    Part Four

    At seventeen, you think you understand what is happening while you’re living it.

    Mostly, you don’t.

    Sometimes it takes thirty-three years — and three unexpected words — before you can see the shape of it properly.
