Review: A well written story about a really boring guy

The story is really well written, but is it a story you really want to read ?  It is about a fellow whose wife has left him a few years ago. The fellow's main pursuit in life, after his retirement is to sit in his back room and read books. His wife wanted more out the relationship than that. She tried to talk to him many times. On her last attempt, he asks her to come out to the  back room to discuss this again. A day or so later she leaves - no wonder ! He gets lonely. No wonder. His daughter finds a date for him. He apparently doesn't even have the initiative to do even that for  himself. The story mercifully ends after 16 pages. Unfortunately, there are probably a lot of men in the USA like him.
