Profound, perceptive, and wryly observed, Estates Large and Small
is the story of one man's reckoning and an ardent defense of the
shape books make in a life. What decades of rent increases and
declining readership couldn't do, a pandemic finally did: Phil
Cooper has reluctantly closed his secondhand bookstore and moved
his business online. Smoking too much pot and listening to too much
Grateful Dead, he suspects that he's overdue when it comes to
understanding the bigger picture of who he is and what we're all
doing here. So he's made another decision: to teach himself 2,500
years of Western philosophy. Thankfully, he meets Caroline, a
fellow book lover who agrees to join him on his trek through the
best of what's been thought and said. But Caroline is on her own
path, one that compels Phil to rethink what it means to be alive in
the twenty-first century. In Estates Large and Small Ray Robertson
renders one man's reckoning with both wry humour and tender joy,
reminding us of what it means to live, love, and, when the time
comes, say goodbye.
