A Carnival of Losses Notes Nearing Ninety

A Carnival of Losses: Notes Nearing Ninety by Donald Hall
English | July 10th, 2018 | ISBN: 1328826341 | 224 Pages | EPUB | 8.60 MB
Donald Hall lived a remarkable life of letters, one capped most recently by the New York Times bestseller Essays After Eighty, a "treasure" of a book in which he "balance[s] frankness about losses with humor and gratitude" (Washington Post). Before his passing in 2018, nearing ninety, Hall delivered this new collection of self-knowing, fierce, and funny essays on aging, the pleasures of solitude, and the sometimes astonishing freedoms arising from both. He intersperses memories of exuberant days-as in Paris, 1951, with a French girl memorably inclined to say, "I couldn't care less"-with writing, visceral and hilarious, on what he has called the "unknown, unanticipated galaxy" of extreme old age.
