In Out of Time, leading thinker Lynne Segal examines her life and
surveys the work and lives of other writers and artists to explore
the pleasures and perils of growing old. Following in the footsteps
of Simone de Beauvoir-who in her mid-fifties mourned 'never again!'
and yet was energetically writing in her sixties and
seventies-Segal mixes memoir, literature and polemic to examine the
inevitable consequences of staying alive. Who is that stranger who
stares back from the mirror? What happens to ambition and
sexuality? As millions of baby boomers approach their sixth or
seventh decade, these questions are becoming increasingly urgent.
Must the old always be in conflict with the young? How can we deal
with the inevitability of loss and find victory in survival?
Brilliant, moving and challenging, Out of Time is an urgent and
necessary corrective to the assumptions and taboos that constrain
the lives of the aged.
