AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Last year I turned eighty. Vacillating between denial and celebration, I decided, with some trepidation, on the latter. It was thirty years since I had last had a big birthday party: this one needed to be special. I consoled myself that, old as I am, I am still younger than the president of the United States, Mick Jagger, and the pope.' (Introduction)

Notes

  • Epigraph: ‘Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.’ Mark Twain
