This is a lovely quiet novella about a man who has a beautiful relationship with his grandson Noah. They have a game where he brings Noah someplace and Noah has to figure out where they are using math. His memory is failing and he gets very confused. He wants to find a way to say goodbye to Noah while he still can. The story takes on a dreamlike quality, as time slips between memories and conversations with his wife, his son and his grandson. I found it fuzzy but quite moving.
