Publisher Notes

In this elegant meditation on age and memory, Grumbach's grace, humor, and insight alert us to the transience of each day and the constant play between past and present.

Media Reviews

"Of the several memoirs written by the author, a critic and novelist, this is in many ways the most successful....Grumbach has produced a pungent essence of a long and flavorful life."
