Age Paperback - 1996
by Hortense Calisher
With rare verve and panache, Calisher has confronted a difficult and ofter neglected subject, and has triumphed magnificently. Age is not only an important contribution to our understanding of the human predicament, it is a celebration of the human spirit--as only first -rate fiction can provide.
From the rear cover
Rupert is an honored American poet; Gemma a retired architect. They live happily and comfortably in a Greenwich Village apartment; the setting, for over thirty years, of their married life. Each with a previous marriage behind them - which left her with two daughters and him with the promise of greatness - they are now facing the challenge of old age together. Both, in their own way, defy the inevitability of death, and yet both are busy preparing for it. The alternating entries of their private journals, which make up the body of Calisher's text, tell a story of familiarity and the fear of loss, love and uncertainty of the future, meanings and habits. With rare verve and panache, Hortense Calisher has confronted a difficult and often neglected subject - and has triumphed magnificently.
