| Summary |
|---|
| Wayne Morris, an aging writer, shares a sushi dinner with his old friend Nero. The two discuss the health issues brought on by Wayne's advanced years, and conclude that the theory of solipsism—everything that exists exists in one's own imagination—must be false, because who would voluntarily imagine themselves growing old, dealing with arthritis, hearing loss and the increased threat of cancer? |
