Frank Kusy

The Clueless Companion: My Diaries with Dennis (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dennis is a special kind of a friend. So special, Frank hasn't got a clue what to do with him.

"...very funny and thought-provoking..."
"...a real hoot with that Frank Kusy sparkle..."
"...a wonderfully entertaining read - and instructive too..."

Frank has a problem. He wants to retire, but his wife won't let him. 'What do you mean, you want to retire?' she scoffs. 'You're only 62!' With that, she encourages him to try a new career in the arena of social care: 'You're a very caring person; you'd be good at it.' Frank is not so sure: according to his late mother, he hadn't a caring bone in his body.

Enter Dennis, a young man with learning difficulties who will test Frank's caring side and his patience to the limit. He talks non-stop, has a thing about 'devil women', and hates cats. He also has an inordinate interest in Frank's wife and why her coq au vin exploded out of the oven. 'What's cock o van? Did she put the chicken in the van and drive off with it?'

Over the course of 16 months, Frank learns a lot about the world of autism and about himself as he staggers from challenging (and surreal) encounters with Dennis to just as challenging yoga sessions, bridge gigs, and German beginner classes. Retirement? Frank has never been so busy!
