The Clueless Companion: My Diaries with Dennis
Dennis is a special kind of a friend. So special, Frank hasn't got a clue what to do with him.
"...very funny and thought-provoking..."
"...a real hoot with that Frank Kusy sparkle..."
"...a wonderfully entertaining read - and instructive too..."
Frank has a problem. He wants to retire, but his wife won't let him. 'What do you mean, you want to retire?' she scoffs. 'You're only 62!' With that, she encourages him to try a new career in the arena of social care: 'You're a very caring person; you'd be good at it.' Frank is not so sure: according to his late mother, he hasn't a caring bone in his body.
Enter Dennis, a young man with learning difficulties who will test Frank's caring side – and his patience – to the limit. He talks nonstop, has a 'thing' about Star Wars, and keeps 12-month-old eggs in his fridge.
Over the course of 16 months, Frank learns a lot about the world of autism – and about himself – as he staggers from challenging (and surreal) encounters with Dennis to just as challenging yoga sessions, bridge gigs, and German beginner classes. Retirement? Frank has never been so busy!
