Essays After Eighty by Donald Hall

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".
