Told in three short parts, this novel revolves around the narrator’s attempt to record a final interview with his 90 year-old mentor and former professor. Things do not go smoothly–a phone is dropped in the sink; the older man shows signs of mental decline–but these problems provide ample material for reflections on aging, technology, and the struggles faced by young people in an increasingly digital world. A reflective novel, highly recommended for those who enjoy autofiction authors like Rachel Cusk or Jenny Offill.
