Ending up

By Kingsley Amis, 1974


Describes the final stages of five old peoples’ lives, each connected, but forced to share an isolated cottage.
A story about growing older & facing death.
Amis reminds us that we can be elderly, semi-senile, crippled with physical indignities, self-deluding and humiliatingly unable to resolve in old age the problems of early life, and still be triumphantly human.
