It is rare and wonderful when you find such an original story. I have been wanting to delve into Mosley's work for a while, and this did not disappoint. Somewhat reminiscent of Flowers for Algernon, but dealing with themes of race and aging, a 91 year old man is pulled out of his dementia stupor by a caring teen and an experimental drug. Beautifully written, and one of my new favorite final lines.
