Very much felt like an elderly coming of age story for 70 year old Tommy who thought he could back to his old life. I kept hearing Billy Joel in my head, "then the king and queen went back to the green, but you can never go back there again." It also felt Twilight Zone-y as Tommy walked around Downtown not understanding why it all looked so different, and feeling like an "old fool" for thinking it'd be the same.

34/80

TheBookgeekFrau @Leftcoastzen Yes it is. It's been sitting on my shelves since the 90s, and it was an oldie then 😂 I thought I had read it, turns out I hadn't 14h
