Description:The story is both beautiful and heartbreaking. Alan, the hero, epitomizes a contemporary American waste of life. He has an uncanny ability to subvert happiness and genuine human connection. Near the end, in a moment with the one person who might save him, he remembers his first wife and their wretched marriage: “A sudden pain shot through him, a cold bolt of regret, everything they had done to each other, the primary mistake of his life, that time wasted hurting her and being hurt by her, the terrible things that take away the little life we have.”
