What’s so great about aging?
Salon interviews Nora Ephron, who’s just written I Feel Bad About My Neck.
“Every so often I read a book about age, and whoever’s writing it says it’s great to be old,” Ephron writes. “It’s great to be wise and sage and mellow; it’s great to be at the point where you understand just what matters in life. I can’t stand people who say things like this. What can they be thinking? Don’t they have necks?” While she understands that aging beats the alternative, Nora Ephron does not think it’s great to be old. She thinks it sucks.
