  • About the Edition

    Frank Molinari is an Italian-American, a devout Roman Catholic, a married man with children from a previous marriage, and a successful investment advisor living in San Francisco. As he faces the changes of getting older -- the breakdown of the body, the increasing closeness of death, and a very different world from that in which he was raised -- his irritation with many of the changes that have transpired in his world is seen through the kaleidoscope of his conversations with friends and of the memories he has about his friendships and lovers.
