Synopsis

The twenty-four stories collected here illustrate the dilemmas and small terrors of everyday existence. In a variety of moods they deal with different stages of life and relationships. In "Numbers,"an elderly man waiting for the start of prayer service recollects events of the past, causing him to change his attitude towards God. "A Man and His Dog" is a moving account of a man's sacrifice to keep his family intact. In "Pictures", a man has quit one life, only to discover that it still holds him in its grip. "The Kimono" is about a man who is powerless against his adultery, even though the immorality of it is all too apparent and distasteful to him. In the title story a man looks back upon the days of his youth and realizes it was the time of his life.
