Series: European Perspectives: A Social Thought and Cultural Criticism
Description: A meditation in the style of Proust and Perec on the abstract relation of age to knowing ourselves and others.
Review Quotes: This book is a delight to read, a real joy that has its reader looking at the aging process anew and laughing (or at least chuckling) throughout. Augé's insight on aging is edifying, even uplifting, and makes us reconsider the otherwise bleak pronouncement 'everyone dies young' in a new, more hopeful light.--Brian J. Reilly, Fordham University
