Cosby reached a wide audience with Fatherhood, a memoir of his experiences raising children. Now, at age 50, he here considers the inevitabilities of the aging process, writing with the same winning mixture of common sense and humor that marked the earlier book. He confronts the shibboleths of the geriatric industry in the United States, addressing them with wise witticisms in the mini crises of his own aging his first gray hair, his first trifocals, etc.
In the same light vein as in Fatherhood , Cosby, TV star who has just turned 50, tackles the universal experience of aging. Once an athlete, Cosby describes his own sense of deterioration, both physical and mental the growing stiffness, encroaching flab and sag, the memory lapses as well as the amazing youth of people in charge now. The book is hilarious and wise and tolerant ("The reason we must be tolerant with older people who have lost some of their hearing or vision or mind is simply that we will almost certainly have such loss if we enjoy the good fortune to live long enough to fall apart"). Rarely has the subject of growing older been explored so wittily. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
