Having watched those he loved leave this world before him, Old prepares for the final chapter of his own story. Working on his memoir, Old muses on the key moments of life that had a profound impact on him as a person, telling us of the after-effects of a mob lynching, a punch-up in summer camp, naval service experiences during the Korean War, alcohol-fueled binges in Spain, relationships won and lost and an odd conversation with a murdering coyote. It's a bittersweet reflection on a long and storied life.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Old's life creates a complex and gorgeous mosaic of ups and downs that seem disparate at first but seamlessly fit together to form the portrait of a nuanced and grounded character. His life-changing events and huge historical moments become mere pieces in a wider picture that slowly comes into focus as we learn about an eccentric old man's life.
Love of music plays a large role in Old's life. Each chapter is given the title of a piece of music that reflects its content. The end notes provide a listening list based on the chapter titles.
AS TIME GOES BY will leave a long-lasting impression on the reader as it teaches a valuable lesson about human nature and the meaning of not just one life in particular but life in general.
