Old Age
Author: Michael Kinsley
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 1101903775
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Vanity Fair columnist Michael Kinsley escorts his fellow Boomers through the door marked "Exit." The notorious baby boomers—the largest age cohort in history—are approaching the end and starting to plan their final moves in the game of life. Now they are asking: What was that all about? Was it about acquiring things or changing the world? Was it about keeping all your marbles? Or is the only thing that counts after you’re gone the reputation you leave behind? In this series of essays, Michael Kinsley uses his own battle with Parkinson’s disease to unearth answers to questions we are all at some time forced to confront. “Sometimes,” he writes, “I feel like a scout from my generation, sent out ahead to experience in my fifties what even the healthiest Boomers are going to experience in their sixties, seventies, or eighties.” This surprisingly cheerful book is at once a fresh assessment of a generation and a frequently funny account of one man’s journey toward the finish line. “The least misfortune can do to make up for itself is to be interesting,” he writes. “Parkinson’s disease has fulfilled that obligation.”

Twelve stories about travel, culture and love. / London, Paris, Zurich, Barcelona, Ulm, Athens, Florence, Vienna, Dubrovnik, Budapest, Mykonos, Venice / PARIS--- We all like fairy tales, about love or sex, left to our personal preferences. But, once upon my reality there was me and a divorce-likely boyfriend. Me and my job and mostly me and me. So, I hit the road, the sky if you mind the details. And here we go, France so deeply in love with itself. BARCELONA--- "In your culture, people meet and make love. In mine, they first try to attract each other, to inflame passion." LONDON--- I think you know me. I am the girl next door. I have a recycled boyfriend and a job on which I hope to make a good living some day. Since high school I've lost about twenty pounds, or even more... Because the bastards are dragging around only feathery-fainted looking women, or a modern society collateral-product called a "female". ULM--- Her first impression when she arrived in Ulm (Germany) was that she got lost, strayed directly into a fairy tale. All the pictures from her sleepy childhood depicted by her mother's soft, dear voice were here. All but the prince. That one hasn't appeared yet. But they are known to be late. Sometimes they only run briefly across the story, just to keep the legend alive. Happy endings are reinvented by mothers. BIOGRAPHY--- Mina A.A. studied journalism in Europe.
