It's the last go-round for German Moran, an elderly writer with the courage to stare death in the eye, but who nevertheless bemoans the frailties and indignities of old age. This curmudgeon with a sensitive artist's ego takes the reader on an intellectual and emotional adventure occasioned by his infatuation with a lovely young actress.
