The old gents
by Jose Yglesias
Bones stiff and muscles aching, German Moran finds little inspiration or comfort in the literary life he has led for most of his time on earth as a writer and one-time radical. He has raised children and penned diverse chronicles, but old age and infirmity have contributed more than their share of ennui.
Familiar stirrings awaken and long-forgotten juices soon begin to flow, however, when a comely actress, Gwendolyn, and her toddler move in next door. German's grander philosophical questions about the meaning of life and death quickly give way to more basic, poignantly naive ponderings: Does she return his love? Is he too old? Can he compete in muscular vigor and tone with her live-in partner?
To complicate matters, the unlikely rival for the charms of Gwendolyn is a dashing young movie producer who happens to be German's own son!
