Author Susan Lieberman argues "It's not a bad thing to be old. It means I haven't managed to be dead."
In her most recent book (her 12th), In The Country of Old, Lieberman reflects about awakening one morning to find herself an immigrant in this new country. "I now knew I was old," she says. "My friends were eager to explain that I am NOT old. It is, they tell me, a state of mind, only a number. I am unpersuaded by motivational mush." With wit, humor and no small dose of attitude, she argues that the work of old is to conmpensate for whar we lose with age, and to have fun in the process.
