This book is NOT written by an old person! Like you "It is not that I feel old. I should feel old, but I don't." from page 1 of your book. I hit 67 this year. Please keep writing. I promise I'll keep reading what you write! This is a book that made me smile, made me laugh and made me forget about how old I am!! ( ) What a delightful book. I'm new to Lily Brett, and picked this up after hearing her interview on ABC RN. In this book, Lily Brett chronicles the day to day with gentle humour and a grace that belies her claim to multiple anxieties. Themed around age, but tbh, if it wasn't in the title, I would have noticed because there is richness across her home, family, friends, community, food, cultural trends, politics but mostly around New York.

I didn't want to derail myself by thinking about my vulva and whether it was hospitable enough...' Most of us would like to live to an old age, but few of us actually want to be old. In this disarming, intimate and self-deprecating collection of vignettes about aging, Lily Brett gives us snapshots of her life in New York. After avoiding a large dog that turns out to be a fire hydrant, and mistaking a tall, grey-haired woman for her husband, Lily has to concede that her ophthalmologist is right: she does need cataract surgery. She's transfixed by a speed-dating dinner at a local cafe, and is told they also have speed-dating dinners for seniors. In the crowded Apple store, in Soho, two young Apple assistants decide it will take both of them to help her. In Old Seems to be Other People, Lily Brett's unique take on getting older is simultaneously hilarious, serious and utterly irresistible. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
