Palimpsest: A Man’s Life in San Francisco (Balangero Books)
The word "palimpsest" refers to the two or more layers of writing on a vellum manuscript--layers that in time will leach out, revealing the contents of previous layers. In this "coming of age" novel, an older man looks back on his earlier years and yearns for the vitality of that time. It is a "book of memories" in which he laments the loss of heightened experiences of years past. The book is set in San Francisco, where the memories brought forth reflect the venues of the city.
