Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How It Feels to Be Fifty
It is a shame to disappoint such a large and intelligent audience, but I am compelled to state that I do not feel like a doddering old wreck teetering on the edge of the grave. I remember a lovely underwear advertisement that depicted a sort of cradle to grave scene, with a toddling youngster at one end of the bridge of life and an aged man at the other end, and men of vari ous progressive underwear ages scattered between. They were all arrayed in nice comfy underwear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
