About this item
Product details
Wry observations on friendship, the fragility of love and survival, and the unfathomable scope of human behaviour in a collection of poems, short stories, a play, and a song. Included in the ensemble is the tale of a WW2 bomber crew's daring escape; a complicated romance in a retirement residence; and, the youthful lament of a tangled friendship. The Exact Likeness of Living Persons swings from the laughable and ironic, to the deadly serious, much like life itself.
