Out of Time: The Pleasures and the Perils of Ageing
Out of Time: The Pleasures and the Perils of Ageing

Introspective journey through ageing's pleasures, perils.

"Out of Time" isn't just another book on ageing; it's a thoughtful exploration that intertwines personal narratives with cultural commentary. If you're navigating the complexities of growing older, or know someone who is, Lynne Segal offers a comforting yet incisive voice. Her blend of memoir and literature provides a rich tapestry of insights that could change how you perceive the passage of time and the richness it carries. Whether you're young, old, or somewhere in between, this book holds a mirror to society's views on ageing and could inspire a reevaluation of the years to come.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A brave book with a polemical argument on the paradoxes, struggles and advantages of ageing. How old am I? Don't ask, don't tell. As the baby boomers approach their sixth or seventh decade, they are faced with new challenges and questions of politics and identity. In the footsteps of Simone de Beauvoir, Out of Time looks at many of the issues facing the aged—the war of the generations and baby-boomer bashing, the politics of desire, the diminished situation of the older woman, the space on the left for the presence and resistance of the old, the problems of dealing with loss and mortality, and how to find victory in survival.
