Essays After Eighty by Donald Hall
2.0
Hmm.... This guy.... This book....
He relies exclusively on women in his old age. Writes how he understands and is grateful for this dependency. Doesn't tell us what he gives these women. The half-life of testosterone extends into old age.
The observations of domestic comforts, simple rural lives, landscapes around the home are familiar to me. They remind me of my family and its history -- spam dinners, wild turkey sitings, the living history of family characters.
Picking up Hall's Life's Work next, and for the same reason I picked up this book: I'm interested to define work in my life as so much more than the 9-5 distraction. The product of that work goes to a corporation; I'm motivated to make more of the product of my work come to me.
