| Summary | "Go to Sleep, My Darling" by Winston K. Marks is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The story centers around topics of masculinity, familial relationships, and telepathy, with a focus on the main character’s interactions with his infant daughter. It explores the complexities of understanding and connecting with women, set against a backdrop of a man's experiences in a predominantly female household. In the novel, we follow Bertrand Baxter, a traditional man struggling to navigate a home filled with women, including his wife Rolanda and their four daughters. As he grapples with feelings of isolation and confusion in his domestic life, he discovers he can mentally communicate with his youngest daughter, Annie. This telepathic bond allows him to feel her emotions and understand her needs while also leading to a deep exploration of his own feelings towards womanhood. As the narrative unfolds, Baxter's attempts at connection become increasingly complex, ultimately reflecting on his identity and the challenges of understanding the women in his life amidst his desire for paternal empathy. The story culminates in a tension-filled climax that raises questions about connection, identity, and the repercussions of probing into personal minds, especially within the parent-child dynamic.
