In this collection of stories, a son must repeatedly come out to his senile father while looking for a place that will care for the old man. An elderly couple confronts the note-taking fiction writer eavesdropping on their conversation. A famous actor in recovery has a one-night stand with the world’s most surprising film critic. And in the beautifully romantic title story, a shy twenty-one-year-old studying Latin in Rome during ‘the year of my reinvention’ finds himself face-to-face with the gorgeous Italian actress of his adolescent dreams.
