Novelist Jonathan Strong has long ruminated on the passing of time in relation to our experiences of youth and of aging. In Endpapers, he brings these themes together, face to face, in the characters of two short novels, Discourses, with Donkey and Playful and Thoughtful. Each novel brings youth and age into close contact and understanding, even while made to cope with the concerns of a larger world: from global pandemic to local gentrification; from impending political and natural disasters, to ruinous events already well underway.
