- Folan's fiction probes the darker undercurrents within family relationships and family life. This is a world of latenight revelations, infidelities, and other smoke-and-shadow games. A child discovers his quixotic parents are petty criminals; lovers abroad find themselves Utterly estranged; a middle-aged man suddenly realizes his friends are all either dope smokers or liars or both.
