Their alternating diaries record their separate adventures, but whether for themselves or each other becomes the question. Diary of a Mad Old Man records, with alternating humor and sadness, seventy-seven-year-old Utsugis discovery that even his stroke-ravaged body still contains a raging libido, especially in the unwitting presence of his chic, mysterious daughter-in-law.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52178082365728,"sku":"NEW1400079004","price":19.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61efc200HOL.jpg?v=1786485453","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-key-diary-of-a-mad-old-man-1400079004","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
