“His writing, as Begley quotes from an early autobiographical essay, was ‘a method of riding a thin pencil line out of Shillington,’ the home he loved, to Cambridge, and from there to New York City, Ipswich, and finally to Beverly Farm; as he moved from his parents — then in with his first wife, Mary, and their children, then his second wife, Martha, and her children — ‘into an infinity of unseen and even unborn hearts,’ now including mine.”
