Add to basketHardback. Sumner Locke Elliott, Macmillan. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: Tanning and foxing Markings: No markingsA quietly devastating work of literary fiction, Going chronicles the final chapter in the life of an aging man confronting mortality, memory, and the slow unraveling of a life once fu…lly lived. Sumner Locke Elliott, celebrated for his deeply humane and psychologically precise prose, presents an intimate portrait of a character navigating the indignities and unexpected grace notes of old age with unflinching honesty. The novel's tone is elegiac yet unsentimental, balancing tenderness with a sharp awareness of how time reshapes identity and relationships. Elliott illustrates, with characteristic restraint and emotional intelligence, the quiet courage required simply to keep going when the world has largely moved on without you. Hardback.
