Now What? Notes From the Front Lines of Old Age
NOW WHAT NOTES FROM THE FRONT
內容簡介
For Everyone Old, Getting Old, or Loving Someone Who Is.
A memoir about aging that goes where most books won't-into the actual, daily, unvarnished reality of being old.
Nearing 90, feminist activist and award-winning author Sandra Butler delivers Now What? Notes From the Front Lines of Old Age, a bracing, big-hearted follow-up to Leaving Home at 83. Readers of that book called it "a captivating" and "informing" read that left them feeling "so much more informed and much less alone." This book does the same-and then some.
In these sharp personal stories, Butler moves through doctors' offices and dining rooms, laundry rooms and long afternoons. She writes about the body's negotiations, the bureaucracy of "care," the clatter of hearing aids, the hush of hard decisions, the tenderness of friendship, and the stubborn joy that keeps surfacing anyway. She takes on subjects most writers avoid entirely-sexuality, death, truth and lies, and the complicated tangle of multigenerational relationships.
Old age as it is actually lived: complicated, courageous, often funny, and still yours.
Order your copy today-and find out what it means to still be here.
Praise for Now What?"Now What? Notes From The Front Lines of Old Age spoke to me. It provoked me to think, reflect on my own memories, do some Google research, and laugh out loud. I feel so much more informed and much less alone. I urge you to read Now What? so that you will, too.
-Ellen P. Chapnick, Former Dean for Social Justice Initiatives at Columbia Law School, Co-founder of Canvassing Connectors"Rare is the writer who tells the truth and is even funny. Sandra Butler, a true original, is an old queer woman who moved in her eighties to live in Tucson, Arizona, where she miraculously managed to create a new life. and tell us all about it in a captivating book. Amazingly, now, she gives us another wonderful book about what life on the front lines of old age looks like. Hers is a blueprint for us all to live with humor and joy, no matter what."
-Esther Cohen, Writer, teacher, cultural activist"In Now What?, Sandra Butler presents us with both reflections on her long life as a feminist activist and a model of aging with determined dignity, unflinching honesty-and gently ironic humor. The third on her journey from "young-old" to "old-old," this book is an advance scout's guide for those of us in our perplexing 70s whose bodies, minds, and community ties have begun to shape-shift. Butler's account is a welcome model for mindful aging and a testament to truth-telling as a source of freedom for the teller and her readers."
