And Then Again Begin Format: Trade Paperback

Millington and Jay, two very discreet, middle-aged men living in Montreal, are in the fourth year of a marriage that seems idyllic to their friends. But the marriage is hidden from their parents, who live in St Vincent, and it is fraught with Millington’s problems from untreated trauma and his former career as a Methodist minister. And Then Again Begin (volume 4 of The No Safeguards Quartet) reveals their surprising discoveries as they attempt to resolve these problems.

H. Nigel Thomas came to Canada from St Vincent and the Grenadines in 1968. He is a retired professor of U.S. literature, the author of numerous essays and fourteen books, as well as the founder and co-host of Lectures Logos Readings. His books tend to focus on queer themes, parent-child relationships in Canada and the Caribbean, and the plethora of issues central to Afro-Caribbean and African Canadian existence. He has received many awards, including the 2022 Canada Council John Molson Prize for the Arts.
