Sample Book Insights: #1 I’m not sure if my experience is the same as others, but I do have faith in talking to each other. We are communal creatures who must mirror each other to know who we are. Every living thing ages and dies, yet humans seem to be the only species that thinks about aging and dying. #2 I was writing an anthology of famous and not-so-famous last words and death scenes, and I was trying to understand the perspective of age. I sensed that I would be profligate with time until I admitted it had an end. #3 I had spent years ignoring the calendar and living outside the generational loop, which may have finally found a deeper use. They weren’t so realistic at the time, but combined with a new sense of mortality for balance, they yielded some valuable lessons. #4 The impact of generations on behavior is also relative. For example, the feminist generation, which was raised to believe that maleness was everything, could force sons to behave as their mother’s age peer or husband, or even father.
