And then I started to wonder whether it was to do with my not forgiving my dad for going away when he did." The shattering effect of his father's sudden death on the 17-year-old Browne would play out for years to come in stories haunted by flawed fathers. The father in his chilling, crepuscular retelling of Hansel and Gretel is shamefully weak, dominated by the children's chain-smoking stepmother; in Piggybook he is obnoxious; in Browne's best-known work, Gorilla, he is all absence: cold and distant, glimpsed from behind as he hunches over his desk.
