For almost six decades Segal has quietly produced some of the best fiction and essays in American literature...--The New York Times nBeloved 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. n nFrom 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. n nCan 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? n nIn story after story, Segals voice is always hilarious and urbane, heartbreaking and profound, keen and utterly unsentimental, as she tackles agings affronts.n
