A single "going-out outfit" holds the key to a world that no longer exists. For a man living in a sterile new city, it is a vessel of memories—the scent of damp earth, the warmth of a childhood sun, and the image of a first love. "The Going-Out Outfit" is a poignant tale of nostalgia, displacement, and the enduring power of the senses to keep the past alive, even as the future unfolds for the next generation.
