Description

A look into the daily life of one of America's great memoirists At seventy-seven Doris Grumbach is as sharp as ever, and in Life in a Day she examines the experiences of her later years, from the dreaded writer's block to the many hours she has spent reading to the effects of an increasingly modern and interconnected world. Imbued with Grumbach's characteristic candor and verve, Life in a Day is a celebration of the meaning to be found in the quotidian.

A charming and thoughtful little book in which nothing much happens but we get a detailed look into the inner life of this self-styled iconoclast and admitted introvert and grump. Grumbach was almost 77 when she wrote this and very conscious of aging. She's still around and will turn 103 in two

weeks. One of my favorite authors. Happy birthday, Doris.
