Chronicling the journey through Helena’s book recs.
Summary

A sad short prose on the end of the life of an elder Greek man in the late 19th century. This was one of the few books I got this book at the incredible Atlantis bookstore in Santorini. The character deals with the perils and wanderings of loneliness, a deteriorating mind and body, all under the backdrop of slowly falling slow, and its metaphorical relationship to the end of life and new beginnings.
