Pete—an impetuous, avowedly self-absorbed writer—and Dave—a pithy banker with a "genius for generosity" — had maintained a close friendship since their first days at college. They stood as Best Man for each other; they are godfathers to each other's sons.That bond cracks during one visit in their mid-thirties, and since then neither can say with any satisfaction why. In their ensuing letters, both men begin speaking with a candor they never shared face-to-face, and over 15 years they break down and rebuild what each thought of the other, and of themselves, sifting the remains of a friendship dissolved and youth passed.This is the second Kindle Single by Mark Ernest Pothier, author of "The First Light of Evening."
