Description

Dick, a blunt and bawdy Philly sports fan, finds himself in an assisted living facility following a stroke. Determined to regain his independence, he does daily laps around the grounds with his quad cane. But when recovery never comes, and days swell into years, Dick finds purpose instead by studying his fellow residents, chronicling their odd obsessions and their nasty arguments, their breakdowns, their drunken debaucheriesand yes, even their sexual escapades.

Dwell Here and Prosper is a gritty but heartfelt novel, heavily informed by the authors father and his experiences in assisted living near Philadelphia in the 90s. With its set of memorable outcasts, it's aOne Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for a different generation and a different kind of institution. This timeless book offers a funny yet honest meditation on aging and community, and what it means to thrive when living in purgatory.
