This is a tough one. It's a pretty stark story with lots of dying. It starts out in a graveyard with the man's dead parents talking about him.. so it doesn't sneak up on you or anything. It is a really rich and impressive story- the man is smart & insightful- just trying to deal with the mistakes he's made in life.
