"Nor More, Nor Less" is a modern retelling of King Lear. It's told from the point of view of Delia Murciano, a young woman whose father, Arthur, a wealthy media mogul and aspiring politician, has been put on house arrest after he committed an unspecified and probably sexual crime. Delia used to be Arthur's favourite daughter (she has two half-sisters named Laura and Margarita, one older and the other younger, all of them having different mothers. They are the Goneril/Regan figures) but she fell out with him a few years earlier and has limited contact with him. She starts reluctantly spending time with him now, being filled with memories of her childhod and adolescence. Arthur is humbled and depressed and Delia sometimes worries he might be losing his mind. The story ends as she accompanies him to his trial.
