Description

The day after his ninety-fourth birthday, a man sits in a beautiful garden, recording the story of his adventures with Mr. Adamson to his granddaughter Anni. As he recounts his life, he waits for the arrival of this mysterious figure, whom he hasn't seen since childhood. This encounter was shrouded in mystery, and now the narrator is waiting for Mr. Adamson's return. Mr. Adamson died at the moment when our narrator was born, but he will soon return to escort him into another paradise. Urs Widmer's novel is a compelling tale told with humor, genius, and lively imagination. It's a story that confronts us all - death - with its vitality and zest for life. Told with signature style, this superb story manages to hold at bay the darkness of mortality. A superb read from Swiss author Urs Widmer.
