Touching Bottom
by Steve Tesich
Synopsis
In Road two hitchhikers meet: a man leaving the city in disgust and a woman going toward it with optimism.
Just when she cuts through his deep-grained cynicism, life deals her a devasting blow.
In Life , an old man is unaware that his dog is dead.
He sees the spark of life getting dimmer, but he has hope and rails at the infirmaties of old age.
Baptism is an elegy in a country graveyard, told in flashbacks, to a widow and widower who repeat their marital mistakes to eternity.
