Produktbeschreibung
The novella Pool Talk is about a young person floating around the pool-side of a retirement community in Florida, attempting to understand the people and their histories while also attempting to reconnect with retired parents whose lives had drifted far away in both geography and emotion. He becomes a cultural spy into a world where his very presence is an anomaly. A nostalgic blend of memory and fiction. The three short stories are an exploration of pure imagination. "Marilyn" captures the revenge of a woman whose husband absconds with the family wealth. "My Friend Jack Smith" is a mystery set in Paris replete with a pet platypus. "The Quick Mick" is set in Irish Boston, where folks from the old neighborhood are growing old together. Diverse people trying to make sense of a confusing world.
