Publisher's Synopsis
Widowed 66-year-old lawyer Walter Tapley hires a high-priced Manhattan "escort" but not why you think. All he wants is to talk about What It All Means: life, love, sex, work. Before their weekend's over, they'll discuss Peekytoe crab, the 400-year history of Washington Square Park; Dylan's Freewheelin' Bob Dylan album cover; the Staten Island ferry; Realdo Colombo's greatest discovery; the hotel room in Diamonds and Rust; what percentage of the 3.5 billion women on earth have decent sex; the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire; the Sexual Revolution (and What Went Wrong); Nathan's Coney Island hotdogs; Cro-Magnon love; what Moses saw from Mt. Nebo and why that Promised Land deal might have given him Buyer's Remorse; the two kinds of Ferris wheels; and more... just no sex scenes.
