  1. 1. Extinctions

    A recently widowed, retired engineer retreats to a retirement village, where the presence of a candid neighbor and the pull of his fractured family life compel him to confront a lifetime of emotional withdrawal and the consequences of his modernist ideals; as he revisits the adoption of his daughter, the neglect of his marriage, and the artifacts he has prized, he grapples with grief, guilt, and the fragile chance of making amends before more connections fade away.
