In A Place for Lily, Kenneth Diamond enters the final phase of his life as his world begins to fragment in the rush of unpredictable events. These events move in a swirl across the landscape of his life, deeply affecting his family relationships, his teaching at his college, and his participation in the fevered world of New York City’s off-off Broadway theatre. Despite his strong commitments to the world he has known-to his family, to his academic career, and his friends and colleagues-he now finds himself alone. But he is a stubborn soul with a powerful sense of purpose and an equally powerfully desire to survive. Written with compassion, sharp psychological insights, and humor, A Place for Lily is the story of the profound changes that can suddenly erupt upon us and completely alter the direction of our lives. How individuals deal with these changes determines the quality of their remaining years, and Kenneth, despite his age, is determined to start over and to survive.
