An Occasion of Sin (a cautionary tale‪)‬

A man of advanced years falls in love for the last time, only to be rejected by his lover for reasons he struggles to understand. In a monologue reminiscent of a Kafka character’s, the protagonist reflects on the history of his life as seen as a series of encounters with women, from “flings” to heart-breaking emotional catastrophes, and realizes he has learned very little from his experiences.
