| This is a story of an elderly British man who is engaged in a solitary quest to assign meaning to his life before he dies. The protagonist is exceptionally introspective and spends much of the novel reflecting on his past experiences. His reflections on aging, contemporary life, familial relationships, and alienation are incisive, beautifully worded, and startlingly accurate. | ||
