Who is Weinstein from Without Feathers and what is their importance?

Weinstein is a depressed man, deeply dissatisfied with his life. At fifty-one, he feels that it's too late to change course, and so Weinstein watches the world through defeated eyes, unable to hope for anything better. Weinstein's ennui is so deep that he becomes a parody of grief and depression themselves. In this way, Weinstein's depression is similar to Woody Allen's anxieties in "Selections from the Allen Notebooks."
