Bill Clegg writes literary fiction and memoir about addiction, family rupture and people trying to reconstruct what happened after a crisis. Did You Ever Have a Family begins after a house fire kills several members of one household on the eve of a wedding, then moves among relatives, neighbours and other connected figures whose partial perspectives reveal the relationships behind the tragedy. The End of the Day again uses multiple lives and withheld histories to show how old decisions return in the present.

His work sits within grief fiction, multi-perspective literary fiction and addiction memoir. Did You Ever Have a Family is the central fictional entry. Read more Less
