| 520 | _a"Opus 21" by Philip Wylie is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the character Phil, who is navigating the anxieties of mortality and the complexities of human relationships in a rapidly changing world. It explores themes of life, death, and human folly against the backdrop of postwar America, where the characters grapple with personal dilemmas amidst broader societal issues. The opening of the novel introduces Phil as he faces the daunting specter of cancer, which prompts reflections on his life and relationships, particularly with his wife and daughter. He visits a doctor who suggests the need for a biopsy on a growth in his throat, eliciting both dread and a contemplative attitude toward his life choices and legacy. As Phil interacts with various characters—including a beautiful woman named Yvonne—the narrative delves into the nuances of human behavior, the impact of societal expectations, and the struggle for personal authenticity amid encroaching mortality. The tone is introspective, with sharp commentary on existential themes and a hint of dark humor that permeates his reflections on life, love, and the absurdities of human nature.
