Annotation

The novel is set in an old age home where a man has been sent by his daughter, who uses a single lapse, to take control of his assets. The other residents are aging hippies, while he is a sportswriter from Oklahoma, so he has trouble fitting it. But the focus of the novel is the rebellion of the members against the authoritarian system they are forced to live under. Much satire.
