The Long Road to Loneliness

Giacomo Casanova traveled many roads in his insatiable lifetime. Roads to riches, roads to ruin. Roads to great fame, and in the end, roads to obscurity. Roads to many great passions, to marvelous accomplishment, to the company of the greatest of celebrities in the highest of society, and one last road to an almost unendurable loneliness. For a man who once had it all, it was a gloomy, despairing end. He had just one last treasure - his memories. Memories in searing, heartbreaking detail. The Long Road to Loneliness (A Conversation with Casanova) is a novella, a fictional encounter in which to give a brief retelling of his life story and his remarkable times, as elaborated upon at great length in his autobiography, History of My Life.
