This poised, finely crafted story is a good model for first-person pieces with a larger purpose.
This elegiac piece is at once memoir and a tribute to both DeSilva's own father and his generation. It poses a mystery, draws readers in with it and resolves it, with grace and elegance. We admired the structural clarity of the piece; the composed, self-aware voice, the lovely detail.
