janp's review against another edition
3.0
I had heard of Donald Hall; however, had not read any of his works until he passed away and I picked this one up from the library. I loved the first essay and a few others but am I was disappointed as I was expecting something more along the lines of May Sarton's reflections on the experience of life at different ages. Hall's book may be titled "Essays After Eighty" but should have been titled "When I was Young".

A few gems, and the rest are sweet sketches of life near its end.

Full Review To Come:
I found this to such a beautiful collection of essays. I thought it was like listening to an old man tell his life story, which is something that I always enjoy. I found it quite humorous. I had never heard of him until I picked up the collection. Great stories inside.
