Description
In this Jon Hassler classic, Simon Shea, a retired professor of English at a small Minnesota college, has begun to forget things and experiences a few dangerous lapses in judgement. He commits himself to a private rest home where his encounters with other residents are variously strange, comical, and disquieting.
The themes are more relevant today than ever before, and this edition is further enhanced by the inclusion of Hassler's own "My Simon's Night Journal," which offers insights into the author's thought processes during the novel's long gestation period.
