Description
Dwell Here and Prosper is a gritty but heartfelt novel, heavily informed by the author's father and his experiences in assisted living near Philadelphia in the 90s. With its set of memorable outcasts--a shady jokester who insists he worked for the FBI, a schizophrenic Catholic who roams local cemeteries at night in search of the Virgin Mary, a twenty-six-year-old whose teeth mysteriously fell out, a middle-aged alcoholic who prostitutes herself to other residents for booze and cigarettes--it's a One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for a different generation and a different kind of institution. This timeless book offers a funny yet honest meditation on aging and community, and what it means to thrive in purgatory.
