At Monti’s café, 77-year old Willie eavesdrops on coffee drinkers, embroidering their stories to take home to her third husband, Jake. Willie’s tales vary from recounting how 80-year-old Eva stole a priceless Chinese cup to following the adventures of 79-year-old Magdalena, who took the Amtrak south and came back with a guy in a jaguar. Up the street from Monti’s lives V (Valentine at birth), a retired painter, who muses over events, past and present, that unsettle her ideas about who she is. When these two old ladies meet, they embark on adventures around Portland, Oregon, that change both their lives.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - HOW DO WE LIVE in our middle-old yearsafter age 70 or so, when early retirement excitement has waned, yet years of living stretch out before us 'Middling-old' is a developmental stage that comes after young senior and before frail elder. Middling-old requires making shapes from days that are seemingly shapeless.In 2019, June Underwood, age 77, started daily writingsrecording stories taken from her immediate space and place. She wrote of neighboring days, mewling cats, and guys in hot rods smiling at old ladies. She recorded thoughts about gardens, music, and poetry. Her writing gave her days shape. Life was stable and quiet. Then Covid, the national insurrection, and cancer interfered. Art, music, and kinwork swelled in importance. The reports ended in March 2021. In 2023, Underwood added comments and insights about those earlier jottings. Sculpting the Mist is a record, from an aging perspective, of some quietly crazy years. Our middling-old age requires appreciating the quotidian, in all its bumps and quirks, as well as telling the stories that shape our lives. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798987790724
