Official synopsis Publisher
When the doctor delivers bad news, what is a man to do with the life he has left to live? He can cry, and he can wonder which particular cigarette did him in. Or he can call the friend he loves in the city he adores, and travel the streets and avenues of New York to meet him. Every corner, every block has a memory–women, food, drinks, friendship, the comedy of office life and of sexual success and failure. It’s as though the buildings of Manhattan are a shelf of books, each to be opened and read, as if for the last time. This tender, funny novel is a salute to a great city’s enchantment and the sweet, frustrating mysteries of life.
