I see you made an effort

Fifty. You can say all you want how fifty is the new forty, but the truth is there: fifty. Fifty brings with it all the things that fifty has always brought, and, in addition, all the current and hopeless cures that go with it. You can Botox it all you want, but old friends are still going to get cancer and die. You can yoga it all you want, but directors just aren't going to choose you for that new picture.


That's what Gurwitch takes on, albeit in a much lighter vein than I am. And the lightness helps, somehow, doesn't it?


So try this book, if fifty is looming ahead of you just down the road. It is, you know. And you may as well face it with strength and a laugh.
