In a world as dead and desolate as can be there is still love. There is still man's imagination. Breathing life into those gray mornings and hopeless forecasts.
This is exactly the reason that I see it as a simple retread of The Old Man and the Sea. I just don't get why folks are so excited about a book that doesn't cover any new ground.
