Old Friends Top Of Mason Novel by Walker Ryan

Equal parts ode to San Francisco's skate scene and post-youth identity crisis, Walker Ryan's first novel Top Of Mason provides a glimpse into the world of Henry Philip, an almost-thirty skateboarder maneuvering through life following the end of a serious relationship. As Henry navigates run-ins with former friends, viral fame on social media, and, the hobby-slash-all-consuming-lifestyle of skateboarding, readers are provided with a nuanced and introspective insight into the eccentricities of the members that make up skate community, and confronted with the question--when our best days are behind us, what comes next?
