Book Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling author of A Three Dog Life, a witty and irreverent look at aging and the writing life, delivered with trademark brevity, humor, and wise wit.

';The Emily Dickinson of memoirists' (Stephen King) Abigail Thomas shares her thoughts on aging in this irresistibly wry memoir-in-vignettesoffering richly insightful writing tips along the way.

While reflecting on the past, Abby accepts the shape of her present.

Only this beloved writer could generate so much enthusiasm over what might seem so little. Vivid memories fall like confetti, as time contracts, shoots forward, loops and suddenly she is back in her twenties in New York City, drinking, sleeping with strangers, falling in and out of love, believing in a better world.
