National Jewish Book Award Finalist The New Yorker's Best Book of the Year! "For almost six decades Segal has quietly produced some of the best fiction and essays in American literature..."— The New York Times "Segal writes with welcome clarity about life’s final years and if her characters are not always as wise as they think they are Segal eyes them all with the unsentimental wisdom of a life spent writing wondrous stories and essays a career spent telling the truth." - Slate Beloved New Yorker writer Lore Segal at 95-years-old is a national treasure. Working at the height of her powers in this story collection she turns her gimlet eye and compassionate humor on aging and life in the slow lane. From the master of the short short comes a collection of 16 new stories featuring old friends who have loved and lunched together for over 40 years. These erudite sharp-minded nonagenarians offer startling insights into friendship family and aging. Can the group organize a visit to one of their number in her new and detested assisted living situation? Is this a fabulous party with old friends or a funeral reception? And does who was sleeping with whom way back when still matter? In story after story Segal's voice is always hilarious and urbane heartbreaking and profound keen and utterly unsentimental as she tackles aging's affronts.
