Lastingness: The Art of Old Age by Nicholas DelBanco
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 510 KB
Overview: One of the country’s leading literary scholars, explores the fascinating question of why some people’s creative talents flourish with age while others’ fade.
America grows older yet stays focused on its young. Whatever hill we try to climb, we’re "over" it by fifty and should that hill involve entertainment or athletics we’re finished long before. And if younger is better, it doesn’t appear that youngest is best: we want our teachers, doctors, generals, and presidents to have reached a certain age. In context after context and contest after contest, we’re more than a little conflicted about elders of the tribe; when is it right to honor them, and when to say "step aside"?
