table of contents

I can picture my personal table of contents on most evenings: anxieties, petty grievances, errands to run.

I scanned the table of contents in nine different Cat Fantastic magazines from 2013 until I spotted the words “The Silent Cat Killer.”

Its 18 chapters are organized well, into the different roles Gönner played throughout his life, a table of contents that reads like a John le Carré collage: teacher, traitor, soldier, ghost, etc.

I want to remember the feeling of seeing each issue in my mailbox, checking the table of contents, bookmarking the work I wished to read.

He opened the front cover, scanned the table of contents, and flipped through the pages.
