He writes compulsively in his 'coming of old age' journal; he eats little, drinks and smokes a lot. Meditating on what he has lost - the loves of his life, both dead and alive - he tries to console himself with the wisdom of the great thinkers and poets, yet finds nothing but disappointment. But cracks of light appear in his carefully managed darkness; he begins to emerge from his self-imposed exile, drawn by the tender, bruised filaments of love for his daughter and grandson.Reminiscing in old ageDeathSocial isolationReminiscing in old age.Death.Social isolation.813.6Gekoski Rick976141MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910158974303321Darke2222976UNINA
