THE LAST THING I BUILD
Abstract
As The Last Thing I Build opens, Jerry Fenner somehow finds himself drawn back down into the basement to be with his old friends, Table Saw, Computer and Telephone. It is time for a final accounting. In the bowels of his home, Jerry confronts his unfinished plans, unfulfilled dreams, and his father′s expectations. Table Saw challenges Jerry to build one last project. Telephone interrupts him a great deal with its pesky ringing and glib comments. At least, the Computer remembers what Jerry wrote, and why. As the life‐journey from school teacher, to writer, to alcoholic draws to an end, Jerry discovers what he has built. Then, the phone rings – one last time.
