Playful in a curious, uncommon way, Now is the Time to Know Everything is full of both tender joy and the heartbreak of loss. While Simon Moreton is known most for his comics (and even a couple brilliant, near-wordless graphic novels), he's also a one-of-a-kind prose stylist and this book shows him at the height of his powers.

From the publisher: "Now is the Time to Know Everything explores the bewildering excitement of pregnancy and the heartbreak of miscarriage through a fragile blur of family stories, reflections on the past, present and future, and half-remembered dreams. Written against the backdrop of a burning hot summer, an unpredictable autumn, and a wet winter, it is a love letter to a person that never quite came to be. Words, some pictures. Handmade."
