Profound, perceptive, and wryly observed, Estates Large and Small is the story of one man&amp;#39;s reckoning and an ardent defense of the shape books make in a life.
What decades of rent increases and declining readership couldn&amp;#39;t do, a pandemic finally did: Phil Cooper has reluctantly closed his secondhand bookstore and moved his business online. Smoking too much pot and listening to too much Grateful Dead, he suspects that he&amp;#39;s overdue when it comes to understanding the bigger picture of who he is and what we&amp;#39;re all doing here. So he&amp;#39;s made another decision: to teach himself 2,500 years of Western philosophy.
Thankfully, he meets Caroline, a fellow book lover who agrees to join him on his trek through the best of what&amp;#39;s been thought and said. But Caroline is on her own path, one that compels Phil to rethink what it means to be alive in the twenty-first century. In Estates Large and Small Ray Robertson renders one man&amp;#39;s reckoning with both wry humour and tender joy, reminding us of what it means to live, love, and, when the time comes, say goodbye.
