Aging is one of the most compelling issues today, with record numbers of seniors over sixty-five world wide. Gray Matters: Finding Meaning in the Stories of Later Life examines a diverse array of cultural works including films, literature, and even art that represent this time of life, often made by people who are seniors themselves. These works, focusing on important topics such as housing, memory loss, and intimacy, are analyzed in dialogue with recent research to explore how "stories" illuminate the dynamics of growing old by blending fact with imagination. The book is in very good condition with no creasing to spine and looks hardly reaad.
