Milk Money

This is essentially a (fictional) memoir, told piecemeal by a very old man dying in a hospital. He is at times more or less lucid, and seems to address his ramblings to different people, although it is never entirely clear who he is really talking to, if anyone. At times he realizes he is old and nearing his end, but at other times he seems to think his mother is still alive and trying to do something to improve his situation.
