Jo Stoyte, an unscrupulous and self-indulgent Hollywood tycoon, launches a search for the man who has discovered immortality

After Many a Summer Dies the Swan

Simon Elliott Stegall

The plot is so scanty and the characters are so bare and the philosophical diatribes so long that this seems to barely qualify as a work of fiction. On the other hand, the philosophical diatribes are so good, the characters are so ridiculous, and the ending is so great, that it all ends up being worth it.
