Above Ground
Episode 2 of 3: You Want?

Story series in which writers consider themes of age and ageing. The series title, Above Ground, is inspired by a quote from Carol Shields's novel The Stone Diaries: "Here's to another year and let's hope it's above ground."

"You Want?" is a vivid short story by Jane Rogers.

Nearing retirement, feeling jaded by life, Karl is in France to sell his aunt's rapidly dilapidating house. Caught up in a snowstorm, he finds himself engulfed by a memory of an encounter with a local woman during an earlier visit to the country.

The story first appeared in Jane Rogers's story collection Hitting Trees With Sticks, published by Comma Press in 2012.
