About this listen

From the New York Times bestselling author of Up in the Air comes a short and heartwarming true story about fathers and sons and how to say goodbye when there’s nothing left to say.

The last wish of Walter Kirn’s terminally ill father is to spend his final days in his remote Montana cabin. Trapped in life’s loneliest predicament, he sticks with his pleasures: nature, Murder, She Wrote, and reminiscing with his adult son. The only thing Walter didn’t foresee is the bear rooting outside his father’s sickroom window - a bold and curious yearling with whom Walter forms a unique and consoling bond.

Walter Kirn always writes brilliant fiction and especially non fiction. This story is a grounded and honest retelling of his grief, that despite some more surreal elements, is wholly relatable!

Beautiful story about grief.
