Alternate title:
60 : a diary of my sixty-first year, the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning?
Description:
313 pages ; 21 cm.
Summary:
"From the author of The Boy in the Moon: A Father's Search for His Disabled Son comes a wickedly honest and brutally funny account of the year in which he realized that the man in the mirror was actually... sixty. A dispatch from the Maginot Line that divides the
middle-aged
from the soon to be elderly. As Ian writes, "It is the age when the body begins to dominate the mind, or vice versa, when time begins to disappear and loom, but never in a good way, when you have no choice but to admit that people have stopped looking your way, and that in fact they stopped twenty years ago." Ian began keeping a diary with a Facebook post on the morning of his sixtieth birthday. He explored what being sixty means physically, psychologically and intellectually. "What pleasures are gone forever? Which ones, if any, are left? What did Beethoven, or Schubert, or Jagger, or Henry Moore, or Lucien Freud do after they turned sixty?" And most importantly, "How much life can you live in the fourth quarter, not knowing when the game might end?" With formidable candour, he tries to answer this question: "Does aging and elderliness deserve to be dreaded--and how much of that dread can be held at bay by a reasonable human being? Ian Brown writes for the Globe and Mail newspaper. His previous books include Freewheeling, and the provocative examination of modern masculinity, Man Overboard. He lives in Toronto"--Provided by publisher.
