This book written under the shadow of death meditates movingly with courage and wit about his beloved Greece his wife and the trio of doctors who preside over his treatment and fate with varying degrees of detachment and awkwardness. Being Simon Gray it is beautifully written while he was still puffing away on the cigarettes that were to end the life and career of this talented man.
