Having watched those he loved leave the world before him, Old prepares for the final chapter of his own story. Working on his memoir, Old muses on the key moments of his life that had a profound impact on him, telling us of the after-effects of a mob lynching, a punch-up at summer camp, naval service during the Korean War, drug and alcohol-fueled binges in Spain, relationships won and lost, and struggles with cancer. It’s a bitter sweet reflection on a long and storied life.
