When Toula's father in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" says to his
daughter (age 30) "you look so old" or when Don DeLillo's
protagonist (age 28) "feels old" in "Cosmopolis", these young
characters are attributed an age awareness that has received little
attention in age studies so far. Leaving aside chronological or
biological dimensions of age, this study approaches age as a
metaphoric practice, suggesting that "feeling old" is not to be
taken literally but metaphorically. The book examines the cultural
meanings of age and aging for characters who are in their twenties
and thirties and challenges often-quoted labels such as
late-coming-of-age story or perpetual adolescence.
