    [synopsis] => The Pulitzer Prize–winning author shares an "exceptionally nuanced, tender, funny, tragic, and utterly transfixing portrait" of one man's troubled century (Booklist, starred review).



At 115 years old, former newspaperman Sam Cunningham is also the last surviving veteran of World War I. As he prepares to die in a Chicago nursing home, the results of the 2016 presidential election come in-and he finds himself in a wide-ranging conversation with a surprising God. As the two review Sam's life, the grand epic of the twentieth century comes sharply into focus.



Sam grows up in Louisiana under the flawed morality of an abusive father. Eager to escape, Sam enlists in the army while still underage. Though the hardness his father instilled in him helps him make it out of World War I alive, it also prevents him from contending with the emotional wounds of war. Back in the United States, Sam moves to Chicago to begin a career as a newspaperman that will bring him close to the major historical turns of the twentieth century. There he meets his wife and has a son, whose fate counters Sam's at almost every turn.



As he contemplates his relationships-with his parents, his brothers in arms, his wife, his editor, and most importantly, his son-Sam is amazed at what he still has left to learn about himself after all these years.
