An illustration of an older man with gray hair smoking a cigarette. His head is illustrated in colour while the rest of his body is line art. -- Front Cover
Cover Illustrator is Sheila Greenland.
No good deed goes unpunished in a willfully blind, technocratic society.
Gordon Gray, a retired librarian, only wishes to chain smoke, read twentieth-century novels by dead white men, and at the time of his choosing, shuffle off his mortal coil. Everyone from his thanatophobic doctor to his New Age neighbour has an opinion on what Gordon should want and how he should be treated. When his daughter Martha arrives from the West Coast, she finds Gordon disheveled, wheezy, and cantankerous in his squalid bungalow. She remains in Elmington to negotiate with his meddlesome entourage and look after him. Seven months later, Gordon is dead, and Martha is in police custody for the crime of caring unconventionally.
