On Herring Cove Road
A troubled old man, his doting but ill wife, and the mutual salvation that follows his friendship with the son of his racist neighbor. Once an amusing extrovert with a reputation as a prankster, Mr. Rosen is entering his senior years as a stoic thirty-year converted introvert who hates change, has little to no interest in people and is more than content to have his wife take the navigator's seat of his life to guide him through its few changes, including their recent move to a much smaller home in a middle-class neighborhood where he lives next to a racist whose pint-sized son addresses him as Mr. Jew. Mr. Rosen had seen the move coming and he's very much aware of the enormous change to come...
