The ‘Big Red’ of the essay’s title refers to a jacket worn by her brother JP. His name is really John-Paul, but in small-town New Zealand he gets razzed about that:
…
Despite his father’s exhortations that ‘You gotta have money coming in’, JP is a songwriter, getting by with a series of meaningless jobs. While her father is immobilised in their town by inertia, refusing to move even when his wife takes a job elsewhere, the boys eventually take off to see the world, leaving Ashleigh behind. Older brother Neil eventually goes to London where he spent his days typing and nights furtively drinking champagne and red wine at hospitality functions he worked as a waiter. For Ashleigh, yearning to be somewhere more significant, Neil’s emails are a revelation.
