a hilarious take on the benefits, chances, realities, and unavoidable paths of middle age.
Laurie Notaro has shown everyone that she did not wind up in a juvenile detention facility, jail, or incinerated. She simply became gray. Every hair's root, for someone over fifty, represents superpowers (a gray-haired woman can get away with anything), experience (she drove without seat belts), and education (she knows how to use a landline).
Laurie accepts midlife, despite the fact that it initially bothers her—the cracking sounds emanating from her new, old body, the frequent junk mail she receives from mortuaries. And a little more after that. She casually snatches a bag of russet potatoes from a store. She gets into a beat-up Prius and heckles a belligerent motorist. and uses Nextdoor.com to indulge in spectacular trolling. That's the beauty of becoming older, Laurie claims. You shed a corresponding quantity of fear every day.
In addition, this inspiring, open, and insightful book on enjoying life after fifty finds the #1 New York Times bestselling author at her most unapologetically funny.
