Now, the two men are roommates in a nursing home. Despite coming from very different backgrounds, the two become close friends.With an exacting eye for detail, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder examines end-of-life sorrows, joys, and unexpected surprises with poetry and compassion. Struggling to find meaning in the face of mortality, Joe and Lou experience the challenges that come with aging—with a grace and dignity that's sure to inspire.难言之隐 (外二篇)
