Too Young to be Old

by Frank Kusy

When Frank starts working with old people, he rediscovers a young dream. And sets about making it come true.

As Frank Kusy turns 27 he is unexpectedly put in charge of an old people’s home in Clapham, South London. Driven to distraction by a crazy cast of characters he seeks solace in Buddhism, only to find himself up to his ears in plasticine pigs and marathon chanting sessions. Will he make his mum happy by holding down a ‘proper’ job? Will he make her unhappy by becoming a writer? Will he get to share cheese sandwiches with Kevin in Kathmandu? And will he be forced to exchange his underpants in Japan?

Reviews

"…a hilarious memoir about enlightenment and old age…"

"…honest, whimsical, and keenly observing…"

"…a superb lead-in to Frank's travel memoirs proper…"

About the author

Frank Kusy

Frank Kusy is a professional travel writer with over thirty years experience in the field. He has written guides to India, Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Of his first work, the travelogue Kevin and I in India (1986), the Sunday Tribune wrote: 'Relentlessly honest, refreshingly uncontrived, this diary really works!' Born in England (of Polish-Hungarian parents), Frank left Cardiff University for a career in journalism and worked for a while at the Financial Times. India is his first love, the only country he knows which improves on repeated viewings. He still visits for business and for pleasure at least once a year. He lives in Surrey, England, with his wacky but wonderful wife.
