HA! Yorke's an outlier.

I remember the moment I realized—not just intellectually, but viscerally—how young my parents were when they had me.
I was looking at a photograph of my father holding two-year-old me in his arms. He was about 26 years old at the time.
I stared at his face, its youthful curves, the light in his eyes, the gentle way he held onto my hand (mainly so I wouldn't yank his glasses off his face).
I had a strange sense of time telescoping out on both ends. I thought of myself at 26 years old, how young and wild I was.
It still seems unbelievable to me that he was that young. He was such a good dad. I would love to ask him about his life. I would love to ask him what it all was like for him.
"Aftersun" is Wells' beautiful attempt to do the same.
