    About this ebook

    Half your age, plus seven. That's the cutoff for dating someone younger than you.

     

    It's a good rule. It keeps people out of trouble.

     

    PhD candidate Mark Cunningham knows this—and yet he can't stop obsessing over Sam Healey. The pretty undergraduate lights up his classes with her intelligent questions. She reminds him why he became a philosopher in the first place.

     

    The more Mark talks to Sam, the more alive he feels—and the closer he moves to a decision that could destroy his academic career. With the semester drawing to a close, Mark must make an impossible choice.

     

    But acting out of love couldn't be wrong…right?

     

    Setting up the dystopian world of Knots, this gripping prequel short story introduces the man whose work inspired the 29th Amendment to the Constitution—which guarantees every U.S. citizen one monogamous romantic and sexual partner.

     

    Download your copy of "Wrong" today to find out how Mark Cunningham came to empathize with incels everywhere—and how this lonely philosopher felt about his own work in the end…

      How To… knit Like A Pro!

      Jan 27, 2021

      You can always tell a well-loved knitting pattern because it’ll have scribbles all over it. We suggest photocopying the pattern so that the original stays pristine. As you work through, tick off the rows to help you keep track when instructions get t

      Into the Wild: The Millions Interviews Alden Jones

      Aug 24, 2020

      I’m not saying memoirists should never use marriage as a final plot point. But if we can choose something else, if we resist that expectation, we can ask the culture to consider other ways women come to resolution. The post Into the Wild: The Million

      Mark Cunningham / Cambridge, MA / 2019-2020

      The whole of the Yard is in balance this morning.

      Temperature in the mid-sixties, and it’s only late August. Squirrels trace little brown c’s over the ground as they hop from one clump of grass to the next. Then, suddenly, one chases the other up a tree. Their little nails scrabble on the dry bark, which is so deeply grooved you can stick a finger into the valleys up to the first knuckle.

      I must be the only one who volunteers for the early morning sections. There are things out here that you miss if you get to campus too late: the light on the dorms; the hush on the empty pathways; the size of the place, its openness. The students are asleep, and the Korean tour groups won’t get in for another hour.

      Coffee tastes better at this time of day, out of doors, when there’s no one else around. The steam fogs up my glasses. I only slow down a little while it clears. I know every bump and ridge on this pathway.

      Thoughts of my unwritten thesis chapters begin to surface in my mind. I stamp my feet a little harder into the pavement and take a long sip of hot coffee from my insulated mug with the scuffed-up VERITAS logo.

      My heart rate slows. I exhale.

      Even years on, after studying and teaching through so many winters and springs, the sense of fullness wells up every so often—the feeling of having
