Description
"For almost six decades Segal has quietly produced some of the best fiction and essays in American literature..."—The New York Times
In this eagerly awaited follow-up to Ladies' Lunch, the beloved New Yorker writer Lore Segal's returns with her final collection stories of the old friends who have loved and lunched together for over 40 years . . .
"Segal writes with welcome clarity about life’s final years, and if her characters are not always as wise as they think they are, Segal eyes them all with the unsentimental wisdom of a life spent writing wondrous stories and essays, a career spent telling the truth."—Slate
Lore Segal was a master of the short story, and this collection shows her in peak form. Profound, dark, and often hilarious, Segal portrays her characters foibles, eccentricities and passions with great compassion and exactness, as they grapple with life, aging, and each other.
Readers of Ladies Lunch will recognize the educated, urbane nonagenarian women who have been friends for a lifetime, as they tackle aging’s affronts with wit, grace and resourcefulness.
