Here is a son's account of his father's last days and his own lasting grief. It's a moving and sometimes funny meditation about life and death enlivened with memories and anecdotes. This book will strike a chord in all readers but especially anyone who has lost a parent.
Do we still exist if the last person who remembers us as children has passed away? What do we talk about when we talk about death? About life, of course, about its whole enchanting ephemerality.
