Filled with intelligence and wit, this account follows Joe Allston,
a retired literary agent, as he reflects on the transcendental
aspects of his life with his wife Ruth. The arrival of a postcard
from an old friend reminds him of the journals he kept during a
long-ago trip to his mother's Danish hometown. The memories of that
trip--both grotesque and poignant--awaken feelings and lead him to
confront long neglected questions while revealing that he has not
quite passed through life as a mere spectator. "Llena de
inteligencia e ingenio, este relato sigue a Joe Allston, un agente
literario retirado, mientras reflexiona sobre los aspectos
trascendentales de su vida con su esposa, Ruth. La llegada de una
postal de un viejo amigo le recuerda del diario que escribio
durante un viaje hace anos a la ciudad natal de su madre danesa.
Los recuerdos de ese viaje--tanto grotescos como
conmovedores--despiertan sentimientos y lo llevan a enfrentarse a
preguntas que se han cuidado sin contestar por mucho tiempo
mientras revelan que el no ha pasado por la vida como un simple
espectador."
