This story follows the life of an older man literally looking for a good place to die. He settles on Brooklyn. But as in all things, life catches up with him. He is sucked into a world of double lives, orphans, and side tracked trips. Austere is such a great writer. You feel the awkwardness of every situation like you were standing next to the characters. If you like whimsy and quirky writing this book is for you.
