![]() ![]() If you’re a reader who enjoys very character-driven, feel-good stories, this one might be for you. It is perhaps a sweet story of a kindly if unsocial man who’s not yet old, no longer young, and still not quite sure how to shape his life into what he wants it to be. The book is comprised of only 178 pages, and contains no real surprises. These details, all mentioned in the jacket copy, are essentially the entire plot. ![]() But these problems won’t go away, and he realizes his orderly life will never be the same again. Micah responds to these crises as he responds to everything: benignly, in the interest of preserving his comfortable routine. But on this particular week, two things out of the ordinary happen: his woman friend (he feels to old to call her a girlfriend) informs him that she might lose her apartment, and a teenaged boy arrives on Micah’s doorstep to announce that Micah is his biological father. ![]() In the novel, Micah Mortimer begins his week like any other: a jog first thing in the morning, a shower, breakfast, the cleanup chore he’s designated for that day, and then taking calls and driving around Baltimore as Tech Hermit, a one-man show for fixing computers. ![]()
