As Madeleine L' Engle once observed, " The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been." In 20 Over 60, editors Beth Weinhouse and David Galef showcase twenty brilliant short stories by authors over sixty-- including luminaries such as Paul Theroux, Joyce Carol Oates, and Jane Gardam-- offering a wide-ranging portrait of life in later years: vibrant, unexpected, and full of humor, wisdom, and surprise.Readers will encounter a retired couple whose hobby is stealing peppermills from restaurants, a woman juggling both her husband and ex-husband in the same hospital, a futuristic nursing home whose designers become its unhappy residents, a woman of a certain age navigating the perils of online dating, and a grandfather helping his granddaughter scatter her mother's ashes.Smart, skillful, and often hilarious, these stories celebrate the full spectrum of experience, proving that life after sixty is as rich and alive as ever.
