"McNair Evans’ Confessions for a Son is part travelogue, part indirect portrait, part forensic analysis, and part hand-wringing search, a weaving together of found details into a brocade that approximates a deceased father’s life, his secrets, and his son’s effort to understand them. The project retraces his father’s journey from North Carolina to New Jersey and back again, and tries to make sense of the insolvency of the family business that had been hidden during his father’s life. It’s an after-the-fact emotional trip with incomplete information, and Evans handles its inherent ambiguity with photographic subtlety and refinement.
