Here is Jason Hill's masterpiece-an modern-day parable of triumph over isolation and loneliness for a 21st century America's bankrupt in promissory notes of prosperity, civic order, and domestic bliss. Hill's protagonist is a writer of middle age, who hasn't made his mark. That is, until a reclusive Pulitzer prize winner who disappeared years ago, a mysterious older woman, by chance comes upon his work and hates it, but promises to make it better. This is Rocky for anyone who's ever wanted to write a novel. Compulsively readable, propelled by sorrow, pain, and a deep compassion for the agony all writers go through on the way to creation, BORN AT THE AGE OF 47 gives us Jason Hill at the height of his powers.
