I wasn't expecting this book, but was charmed by it. In this autobiographical piece, Katz find turning 50 means he needs to find the peace and solitude he craves, and thinks of emulating Thomas Merton in some (non-religious) ways. He finds himself with a ramshackled house on a Vermont mountaintop, solitude whose terms he manages to mold for himself, and insights into aging, change, personal need, and personal responsibility.
