In these dispatches from somewhere near the end of the world, Gavin Paul finds himself clutching at the threads of the past and squinting into futures unreadable. Grappling with middle-age, a pandemic, crises of climate and technology, and the ever-lengthening shadows of mortality, he hunts for glimmers of hope and beauty. Perhaps he finds them in the fading light of his younger selves. Perhaps he reads them in books and dreams. Or perhaps he glimpses them in the strangely fierce and knowing hearts of birds on the wing.
